I have a 24 ft stilleto tunnel hull Cheetah, and when the wind cranks up, it seems that the boat really give the driver a beating at higher speeds.
Question:
Will trim tabs make a big difference? We are talking about 2000.00, and want to make sure this is a wise investment:rolleyes:
also,
for a stilleto tunnel hull, would you put them on each side of the cut out the tunnel hull, or down the center pod
:confused:
Thanks:)

2K for tabs. I hope they are Dana 1000's. The going rate for those is about $1800.

rvrkaos I would ask Bob about tabs for that boat, as far as where to run them etc.
Depending on the water condition they do help plant the bow.
Dana HP1000 on my boat but thats not comparing apples/apples
