trim tab question

[Dave Hirshberg]

You lost me somewhere. You've got a bracket but you want to build another to get more flotation? And then attach trim tabs to it?
As far as building a bracket that follows the hull contour I would advise against. By doing that you it could be said that you are extending the hulls running surface and you don't know how it will effect the performance boat. Personally I think SeaCraft got it right the first time and I wouldn't mess with what works. And ,I wouldn't attach anything to the bracket that dosent belong especially below the waterline. Its an invitation to corrosion with dissimilar metals (stainless screws and aluminum bracket).
My verdict--- Mount the bracket if you wish, but don't re-invent the wheel. Or in Jimmy Buffets words "Keep it simple , stupid" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
