You know, Connor, I hadn't thought about that. The tabs on my other two boats are well outboard, but their chines don't rise much out of the water when rolling at rest. But rather than outboard tabs increasing roll, I wonder if yours are damping roll because they're mounted on the center panel and remain submerged at rest and should provide resistance whether rising or falling.
