Eric,

I thought about using a whale tail or similar wing like you did but after all the research I did I went with the Smart tabs. Other than drilling the holes which is kind of permanent I was willing to take the risk. I'm sure the wing would have helped too though but they caution against using both. I can tell you that at low speeds I push less of a wake after adding the tabs and if you are only going slow you can set them for maximum trim and probably get even less wake at the expense of top speed
