Okay, now it's beginning to make sense to me. ...
Thanks for the clarification. Now I know why the move toward trimtabs to assist getting on plane, etc.
Are the fins that attach to the cavitation plate of any value?

Yes, those fins help. Even more effective is the Hydro-Shield, which mounts to the skeg, so that it is always exerting influence on trim, whereas with the Davis Whale tail, or Stingray Hydrofoil, or Attwood Hydrolizer, they are all exerting minimal influence when on plane, and exert almost no influence when on plane and trimmed up beyond neutral trim angle.
The Hydro-Shield also very effectively protects your prop in shallow water.
