[QUOTE="finstr, post: 435897, member: 22313"] I had a chance to try out the trim tabs and they do work although limited. I think because my top speed with the 8hp isn't very fast they don't have the uplift they could have. Plus I've added a fair bit of weight to the boat with a large battery,trolling motor,seats,shelf etc. I have drilled a few holes for adjustments and will continue to play with them. I'm also considering putting pneumatic cylinders on them so I can adjust while at speed. It's such a tiny boat but the physics are the same I think. I can't comment on the 25 hp 4 stroke other than I really like the way they idle and how quiet and clean they are. [/QUOTE]
