Well, I don't need tabs. But my CG is further forward on my 75 MA. The tank is under the console, and the batteries are there, also. Plus, I have a 4 blade stern lifter prop. Minimum planing speed is 13ish loaded with a 4 stroke and a 4 stroke kicker. So there are other ways around it for pitch control. But I don't have roll control that tabs would give me . On the other hand, with the static CG proper, the boat drains better and that aspect of pitch control can't fail, unlike a trim tab. Personally, I would start there.

I suppose with tabs I might get a 10 knot planing speed which would be nice, but with the mass forward it handles the mouth of the Merrimack and the Piscataqua really well until you get square 5 footers.
