Some boats need adjustable trim tabs to run as fast as possible. Without Lencos my hull would only hit 27-28 but once I trim her out and tab down some I hit 33-34 and throw a roostertail that a bass boat would envy. I’m not a fan of Smart Tabs, if you are going to drill holes in your transom put some Lencos on it so you have full control. Moving crap around all the time gets old, just get in and go.

My boat has the bobs stabilizer plate, and it definitely helps with porpoising, but it took off a couple mph on top end.

That’s not going to hold true with every boat, mine needs the compression plate to get top speed.

Proping a boat a boat is like RnD or voudo trial n error. Most give up n disgusted n don't follow thru. Call prop gods n power tec listen to their suggestions.

A good prop shop will eliminate a lot of headache but a good prop is no good if your motor is not set up correctly on the transom.

My bad

You didn’t do anything wrong, my comment was a general statement. Your comment was fine.

Try what was mentioned earlier, get the prop shaft even with the bottom of the boat.
