Finster,

Actually Tabs are more important on a shallow v hull then on a deep v. Look at all the flats boats, they almost all run Tabs. The big reason is that on a shallow v keeping the bow down and in the water at lower speeds makes all the difference in the ride. I would venture to say that you would benefit even more then the guys mentioning them above.

Machetero,

Thanks! I really appreciate the pictures and the kind words. Make sure to include a return address so I may send you the retractor.
