Blue heron did that by glassing the hull and attaching to his metal tabs but the pics are gone now.

I talked to a fishing guide in MA that has the auto zipwake system on both his 20 SC and 23 SC. He loves them, says they are much better than regular trim tabs to automatically
(quicker by far) to keep the boat level with less drag. He thinks he uses less fuel.

I think I am going to get the zipwake system for my 20 SC - Its only money, but looking at the 3 or 4 350 hp engines on 30 ft CC in the marina - I tell my wife it could be worse.

Sorry I never replied, stu. You are absolutely right. The price of some of these new boats is nuts.

Well here all I’ve gotten done recently (not much). Been really busy at work.

Got the new teak for helm done. I need to sand it and finish it. I can’t make up my mind if I will cut the holes directly in the teak for switches or put a housing to hold them. I’m open to suggestions. Something like this is what I’m leaning towards. I think it will be sturdier.

I took a 4/4 teak board and resawed (split in half) then planed it and glued it into a panel. You can see how the grains book match. Not sure why the other one didn’t turn out as close…oh well the wonder of wood.

I’m going to add another piece of teak down the front and join the 2 pieces together and have the steering wheel and my id plate there.

Now if I could just get my engine parts…
