I think the tabs do damp the roll, just not sure how much. Mine are mounted on the center panel, but I've never seen them come out of the water. I've been planning to increase the surface area of my tabs in hopes of damping it some more, but $ hasn't allowed yet.

Seafari 25: your tabs are much larger than mine. Yours is what I hope to emulate. My issue is roll when at rest. When moving the tabs I have are fine. When sitting still the boat has more roll than I prefer, still nothing compared to a 233 formula. That hull can develop a snap roll that can just about throw you out of the boat(personal experience). Do you notice much excessive roll in your boat?

Now that you mention it, yes I do but I haven't been in any other 25* deadrise boats to compare with. I grew up thinking this was normal and the word excessive has never occured to me. Safety is all I feel when on board but my passengers make mention to a roll. I tell them we're on a boat.

Connor, I have never been uncomfortable or scared but also keep in mind, our Seafari is unsinkable...
