It comes on plane extremely fast if I work the trim tabs full and use the outdrive tilt. You almost don't even know the bow is raising! My question is...in lieu of the damn gas prices, I'm wondering if I could get better mileage if I added larger trim tabs so that the boat would plane at a slower speed. Right now, I have to get it to 3,000 rpm's to bring it down on plane. Any thoughts? Thanks! I use no tabs unless I want the bow down for rough water, i.e., to give a little smoother ride while on plane. John H How does this answer his question? Brian Better than your post!
