Trim Tabs?
« on: September 11, 2011, 04:05:23 PM »
Ok so I may be yelled at but I figured I would ask anyway
I sold my AS now I am running a 20' Outrage it has a 130 Honda ( civic on a stick ) man that motor is heavy big change from the 140 Jonny she runs great and will do about 37 mph but is really sensitive on the trim just a little trim and it really gets nose happy I am assuming because of the wieght of the Honda is the best solution trim tabs or just keep her trimmed down and run her the way it is or even a whale tail on the motor ( I know they are ugly )
What do you think

Once you have had a boat with trim tabs you will always have trim tabs. They are a must have and really keep you dry and comfortable once you get the hang of them
Go for it
