I'm having issues getting my trim tabs to work but my planning speed is a little better than it was before, about 16 mph right now depending on load, sometimes higher if I have it loaded down. It was closer to 18/19 mph before if I remember correctly but that was with ful tabs. I have been running the last month and a half without working trim tabs. I raised the motor one notch but its still too low so I'm hoping that with working tabs and the motor raised to the proper height my planing speed and mpg will drop.

I haven't had any issues with wanting to get the nose up. Its runs/handles well in big seas both head and following.
