[QUOTE="jeffh1973, post: 306173, member: 10842"] Badbagger, I am posting the pics of the Smart tabs I installed on my Ark that I told you about. They made a difference on my boat. It had a whale tail on the motor and would porpoise with the small amount of trim. I have not did any mods to the boat yet except for the tabs and removing the tail, leaving the gas tank and motor battery in the back. As Dave stated too much trim will cause it to porpoise, but I get so much futher out of the water now, but the unexpected difference was in the turns. Here in Ky. some of the lakes are long and winding and the boat handles so much better with the high speed turns.The ride is not so pounding now that the tail is gone. So, thats my two cents, trying things out in a methodical process is always best. I will start my project in July and will start a thread. I have purchased quite a bit so far , But the fish are starting to bite. It looks like you are building one HIGH CLASS TIN. Great job. [/QUOTE]
