Default Re: Trim Tabs for Seafari?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the feedback on the tabs. And the gas tank removal too, fortunately it's not foamed in.

By the way, Fellow-ship, congrats on the new gig @ Bennett. Checked your website and I'm still a little confused - might not be interpreting this right... The website recommends "Choose at least one inch of trim tab span (per side) for every foot of boat length. (Examples: 22 foot boat = no less than 24" x 9", 36 foot boat = no less than 36" x 9")and then gives 18x9 as the fit for 19-23' boats or models with less span and more chord. Due to the projected locations of my transom mount transducer and bait pump,the latter sizes might be my better option. I think I'll hold off on the 18x9s and look for something narrower.

On another note Dennis, I wonder if your cuddy door is original and what its and its frame dimensions are. Some one had totally butchered my bulkhead cutting back the header glass over the doorway, making a frame out of birch, a cap out of pine, and red oak corner moulding to hide their mortal sin of covering the teak with padded vinyl in a Tijuana turquoise color (I'm sure they would've called it "dolphin blue"). What's more all of this was attached with a brad nailer that chipped the heck out of the fiberglass on the dash and lower deck .
