During our usual week vacation on the Saint Lawrence River in early July we logged ONLY 127 miles. The weather was iffy (cold some days) and rain was frequent. We usually run a good 300 miles on our jetski in good weather. The wife was glad we took the new Whaler instead...
Sorry about having to drill more holes. At least you are not installing trim tabs in the hull with 16 screw holes. If it turns out you really don't like the tab, filling the holes with small SS or poly bolts will make them hardly noticeable.
Please report back on your performance. I'll be glad to help if I can.
On a side note, the weather was splendid today so we took out our 65 year old wood Lyman, with her 64 year old Evinrude outboard. Had some engine problems (I'm also that age and I too get finicky at times), but she managed to get us home safe as sound.
