Many people think motors need to be trimmed in and then want to use tabs. They should buy a trawler if they like pushing water around..

well, the nice thing with tabs and trim is that its adjustable to what you want. you may want to run at 40mph for an hour with tabs up & engines out, then tab down, trim in, and run 8 mph for a bit while plowing water and having a trawler like ride, then run back at 40 mph again. whats wrong with using what you have when you want?
