Default Re: trim tab size

I put Bennetts 12X12's with a 3" drop fin on my 23 Tsunami.
They were recommended to me by the folks at Bennett.
Actually,they told me that they would like to see 12 x 24's,but because of the steps in the hull,it isn't possible.

**(But now I see No bones with 24" tabs,so maybe the Bennett guys were mistaken)**

The 3" drop fin,adds considerable lift.My boat is an I/O,with a 350,so it's stern heavy.

It performs perfectly with these 12x12 tabs.The boat hops up on plane instantly,and if I drop the tabs,I can stick the bow down,where it needs to be in snotty water.

I would go with 12x12's with the drop fin.As mentioned,Bigger is better with tabs.You may not need them all the time,but when you do,the extra lift from bigger tabs is nice.
