[QUOTE="Rat, post: 182478, member: 1914"] Yes, and no. I had two boats with no difference in speed, but all the others have loss 1-2 MPH top end. If everything is perfect, prop pitch/design, motor height, trim etc you will not loose any speed. The idea is to have the Dol-fin out of the water, or right on the water, while on plane. This way you will have maximum lift during the hole shot but no drag while on plane. Trim tabs will do the same thing. When Danny put them on his boat he lost 1-2 MPH. But the improved performance out of the hole and improved bow control while on plane makes them worth the loss in speed. We could probably fine tune his motor a little better and get the MPH back, but he is happy with it for now. [/QUOTE]
