Interesting point WTG. When you're backing up with hydraulics units you trim up and you're golden - not possible with the Nauticus units.

Fred, there is a company called Boat Levelers, who I believe originated the concept. They are quite a bit less expensive than Bennett or Lenco. I know your wife cut, nay, reduced your boat spending so you might look into those.

No Bones had suggested looking on ebay for reduced prices and indeed some are close to half price. I found some on CL also, brand new set for $250... My wife said. NO!

I think what it comes down to is how much control you want to have, and how much you want to spend on tabs. Although I don't have first hand experience of the smart tabs from Nauticus, I have researched them on the web and can't find to many complaints. Installation is easy, cost is less but you do give up the ability of full control.

I've had the Bennet M120 sport tabs on my 20 and they work exactly as expected and you get full control.

Bennet has awesome customer service, I have heard the same about Nauticus.

Once you make a decision, let me know and if you would like I can price something out for you as we carry the full lines of Bennet, Lenco, Nauticus, and Boat leveler tabs..

My apologies, I think it was Fellow-ship, not No Bones that suggested the online shopping for the Bennetts...
