Brandon,
I will be modifying my tabs. My extensions aren't as wide as yours, but they do follow the contour of the step in the hull. I'll post pics when I've got them bolted on. I don't know what effect they'll have on roll characteristics at rest, though. Time will tell.

The hose has a cable on the end that attaches to a swivel on the garboard plug. So you pull the drain hose out the garbaord plug and gravity drain it.
