Island,these 12x12 drop fin tabs were the size recommended to me by Tom at Bennett Marine.
The 3" drop keeps more water under the tab,increasing lift.I think Ken(fellowship) can explain it to you much better than I.

I'm only running a 250hp 350 I/O,and will have a Yamaha kicker on the back,along with four downriggers,with 12lb weights,so with the extra weight i figure the more lift the better.

Hopefully,i can splash this thing by the end of summer.Engine is in,new transoms in,decks done,major glass work is done,now have to glass the rear cap back on,do the wiring, install the arch and rocket launchers,electronics, paint etc. etc.

As for Bennett Marine,i can't say enough about how good their customer service is.They are great.I think i may have talked to ken,about a week ago,explaining that the pump cover was cracked,and that i also needed a new hydraulic fitting.
A few days later,they arrived at my house at no charge.Thanks Ken.
