[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 448753, member: 1523"] Pods trump tabs any day of the week. Pods work great to keep the arse end out of the water while you draft, something any outboard guy should love. Also the hulls longer wetted length allows the boat to come up on plane at a shallower angle as well as not sink so hard coming off plane. It'll keep the rear from digging in. All things a skinny water guy should embrace. The only downside is it take a little more space due to the shallower launch angle to get on plane. The only time I think I'd rather have tabs is if I fall out and can't climb the motor to get back in. Might be easier having the tab act as a low step. [/QUOTE]
