tabs will help with that plane issue too if you dont already have them
I have those manually adjustable tabs that I don't care for. I was however told that Bennett tabs, say, would make little difference. Either way, it'd be a cool toy to have
Whoever told that the Bennett tabs make little difference was wrong. They make a huge difference. You do have to play with them to learn how to use them, however, as they're not automatic and can't read your mind.

A dear friend of mine has a '76 20' Seafari with the original Bennett Tabs and a 120 hp Evinrude. He can stay on plane at 12 mph. My 20' Seafari does not have tabs. I fall off plane at about 18 mph.
