Re: Getting on plane question

Well I ordered thee Smart Tabs today, I had to go with the ST1290-60's. There wasn't any way to mount the SX series. Greg at Nauticas said to stick with the 14 1/4 19p prop for now and see what it does. He assured me these would fix the issues I am experiencing. The next step I guess is to see what wot actually is and possibly go with a 4 blade prop like someone mentioned. Of course the weather for the next 10 days is less than boating weather but at least the bay should be boat free so I can do the wot test without worrying. P.S. found the best price at Boatersland.com, they were 50 bucks cheaper than anyone else.

Way to go with the smart tabs.. I put them on my 19' wellcraft and I have zero bowrise, I mean like none it is amazing. It just pops right up even at low rpms. No bouncing around and I find the boat doesn't roll near as much when I go over another boats wakes at an angle. Best thing I put on my boat, you'll def notice a dif.

This is good to hear, maybe I can get away with just the tabs.
