[QUOTE="Raven205, post: 482210, member: 26936"] I installed a set of Nauticus Smart Tabs. I have used them on a lake boat and they really helped with getting on plane fast and maintaining plane at a slower speed. I got them with the mounting bracket that allows you to lift them out of the water. The boat gets on plane nicely but I am hoping that they will help me plane a heavier load faster, reduce my planning speed, and cross my fingers, get a bit more top end. I pop rivetted 2X2 square tubing to the trim tab that extends from the bottom of the boat to mount the tabs and had to cut a chunk of the tubing in half at an angle to mount the flip brackets in order for them to function. The angle of the transom with the non angled mount of the smart tabs would not let me lift them up without the mount. I have not tried them out yet on this boat but another fellow that had them on his Explorer tells me that they are the best money he spent..
