I have a 350 lb. Merc Black Max 175 on the back of my Seafari 20. With my wife and son in the transom seats (barely 200 lbs between them) it is nearly impossible to keep the bow down so the ride really suffers. Tabs I'm sure will help ride but obviously don't help when we're drifting around, eating lunch, etc. I would love a quiet 4 stroke but I can't see putting another 150 lbs of motor off the transom with the 7.5' beam.
