[QUOTE="airshot, post: 495447, member: 1183"] Been in boats for over 60 yrs, so here is my two cents worth...whale tails should be last resort, try shifting weight around to get the right balance, but they can work if all else fails. Never been impressed with jack plates unless you have high hp motors, only then can they be really beneficial. T&T is another animal, being adjustable while underway can add speed and make your engine run better/ more effieciently than just hanging there. Recently bought an outboard boat/ motor with T&T and what a difference it makes on the 16' tinnie. Had it on my 22' boat and it was great but not as noticible as the improvement on my 16'. I know it isnt cheap to add it on, only you can determine whether to upgrade your current motor or replace it with one that has it. I will have T&T on any future boats I purchase, once tou have it and see how much it helps, you wont go without it !! [/QUOTE]
