Otto: Not much difference in performance. Initially I had lost a little top speed and my cruise MPH to RPM was lower. I lowered the engine one hole now everything is pretty much back in check. It made it ride a little rougher with the trim tabs all the way up, as a result I installed a Permatrim Hydrafoil
http://permatrimmarine.com/ and what a difference that made. It rides better now than it ever has. I only use the tabs to level the boat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The web site for the bracket is
www.custommarinewelding.com I don't know if I would recommend them. I had a few issues like the starboard notch for the trim tab cylinder was off by about 3/4 of an inch and the paint peeled up around the engine bolts.

Scott: That is my boat. The guy that posted the pic is a friend of mine whom I work with. The guys from work decided to have an "Island Jam" that day. I even got the opportunity to soak my supervisor.
