Default Re: Tabman in Miami

Tabman - was a good show and it's now great to be able to place the face with your name online...

Now if we only knew whoze 23 was behind Big Jon on his Trailer Maintenance episode last week...

BTW - for my fellow massholes, OTW is coming out with a TV show soon for the northeast. I believe the cat is officially out of the bag and can be mentioned...

Yep, Tom is a top notch guy. I've spoken to him over the phone once or twice and a few times via email. I have 12 x 12 tabs on my 20 Grady and noticed all the water being lost out the sides. I asked him about fabricating some fins to channel the water back to maximize efficency. Low and behold, he was way ahead of me and turned me on to the "drop fins" that Bennett already offered that can be added to the 12 x 12 tabs. I haven't gotten them on yet, but am sure they will work great.

He's also helped me w/ some "warranty" issues. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks again for your great service Tom.

I have the 12x12 tabs with the drop down fins on my boat and they are awesome! I can trim the engine all the way down along with burying the tabs all the way and it will spray the windshield with water. I can also run one tab all of the way down and have water come up over the rear cleat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Needless to say that it is plenty of enough tab for the boat.
