In Response To: Re: Trim tabs (Harv)

Harv, I'm with Charlie. My Four Girls led the way down and you had clam seas as there were two hulls in front of you. He also brought you home single handed.

Now for the trim tabs. I have them and like them. Watching the speed on the GPS and working the tabs, you can see a difference. Of couse one can get the same results if you have a portly crew member. I use to have one. A portly crew member, that is. I would just say, "Jim, come forwrd up by the wheel". Or " Jim, will you sit on that chair to port?" Yeah, a neighbor named him "Trim Tabs". So now you have the story.

Tell us, Harv, how you brought the boat to plain on just one engine a winter or so ago. You know, when you use to fish New Jersey! Did you use the tabs??
