    Bennett SLT6 trim tabs? Anyone running them?

    So far I am impressed with them. I am still tuning them to find the best performance with my setup. I agree that being able to order different springs in different poundage would be nice. Mine came with 57# springs. The SLT 10 comes with 90# springs. One thing that I have considered is trimming...

    I like that idea. I’ll consider doing that to see if it helps. Thank you

    Bennett SLT6 trim tabs? Anyone running them?

    Thanks for the reply, the SRA prop took the performance of my motor to a whole new level while using the jack plate. The stock aluminum prop wouldn’t bite when I jacked the motor up. I agree, it caused too much bow rise and now I have the porpoise issue with a headwind. Trimming the motor...

    Bennett SLT6 trim tabs? Anyone running them?

    Jack plate all the way up, the cavitation plate is 2” above the bottom of the boat. It’s just high enough that I can still run it wide open without prop blowout (thanks to the SS SRA3 prop). So no, the jack plate is not my problem. My motor not having electric tilt/trim is. I have a 21” transom...

    Bennett SLT6 trim tabs? Anyone running them?

    Yeah the tabs present from the factory are something like 2” by 8”. The Bennett tabs are 6” by 8”. I definitely think the bigger tab will give a more effective result.

    Bennett SLT6 trim tabs? Anyone running them?

    So I’m running an Alweld 1448LA with a 25hp Yamaha 4 stroke. I have a Atlas micro hydraulic jack plate. 3 blade SRA3 prop. Boat has manual trim tabs welded on from the factory, but the boat still porpoises on occasion when entering a headwind, making running a hassle due to having to stop and...

    Alweld 1448LA build

    I got mine without the backing and used weldwood in the red can. It was super easy to work with and will hold up way longer than carpet and look better than any carpet you can find.

    Alweld 1448LA build

    Thanks. I really like the motor so far. I only have 30 hours on it so far but I have no complaints. I hope it lasts a really long time

    Alweld 1448LA build

    Thanks. She was 4.9lbs. My biggest trout ever. Not a bad way to break in the new boat

    Alweld 1448LA build

    Installed hydro turf on the aluminum floor to dampen the sound and keep your feet cool during the summer.

    Alweld 1448LA build

    The performance of this motor is great on this boat, however since I do not have power t/t, I decided the manual jack plate was not the most efficient for my setup. I decided to switch out the manual jack plate for a Atlas micro jacker hydraulic one. This will allow me to bury the prop on...

    Alweld 1448LA build

    I switched out the small stock trailer tires with bigger, radial tires and some cool aluminum wheels

    Alweld 1448LA build

    I chose to pair this boat with the newly redesigned F25 due to its light weight and yamaha reliability. I added an aluminum false floor with closed cell foam underneath, a manual jack plate with 6” of setback, power tech SS prop

    Alweld 1448LA build

    Decided on a Alweld 1448 for a stable fishing platform for 2 people. I decided on the flat bottom to maximize room inside the boat and improve stability over the V front. Here’s the blank slate that I started with

    2017 Yamaha F25. Which prop?

    I really like it so far. It is very small compared to the previous year model F25. If i would get the right ss prop for my setup, I will be completely happy with it. I am about to do my first oil change at 10 hours.

    2017 Yamaha F25. Which prop?

    Thanks The SRA3 model in the 10p is what they seem to recommend for this motor.
