FYI -
From my direct experience- I'd use 12" x 12" and put them outboard as close to the chines on the transom as I could. Follow the instructions and have the bottom of the tab mount plate 1/2- 3/4" above the bottom with the aft edge of the plate up as Bennet recommends. So that when the tabs are fully up, they don't affect the ride of the boat. With this set up, I can trim the boat over as much as possible without unduly forcing the bow down as would be the case if the tabs extent further inboard toward the centerline; where the bow is pushed down when you activate a tab: When I want to tab the bow down, I use both tabs.
Just my thoughts.
