I went with the 12x12's so I didn't have to re-drill for wider Tabs.For the most part most manufactuers don't put enough Tab on their Boats.They need to work without having to Dig them in.Lowest Planing speed? Don't know,haven't really tried to figure it out.Most efficient cruise,Don't know that either. Don't have a Fuel Flow Gauge on it.It will in the future though.I'd guess 2.0 to 2.5 mpg..I do ALOT of runnin' ,one place to another.Not unusual for me to put 50-80 miles in a day on it. My 2005 Optimax with Smartcraft gauges on the Hydra-Sport stopped registering Miles at 6000 miles,that was about 3 yrs. ago or so! Guess it only goes to 6000..That is in about 7 yrs.

Just my opinion but I think you modified out of sequence. Without reference points, how do you know what you did improved or worsened performance?
