Smart Tab update. I mounted the Smart Tabs and put the boat back in the water with a full tank of gas. All I can say is what a difference! The boat got right up on plane and had significantly less porpoising. Previously with a full tank it was very difficult to get on a plane. I think that was the best $129 I could have spent. The tabs are in the way of the transom tie downs when on the trailer but I managed to tie down to the stern cleats instead and avoid the tabs. Thanks to everyone for the great advice
