[QUOTE="AaronJ, post: 189646, member: 1109"] Trim tabs have been given a poor name by 1 boat manufacturer. Truth be told all boats could benefit from them; but the 1 mfg has had to put them on due to poor performance which, IMHO, has hurt their use on other boat lines. To the OP. Jackplates will likely not give you 4+ mph improvement. I have had them on 3 or 4 boats and they are awesome. I really like them for idling through skinny water. Easier to maintain good water pressure raising jackplate with less trim than full trim (ie: getting out of Pelican Ramp on DL). I also like to maintain good hole shot and overall performance with any load (5 guys vs 2 in the boat adjustments can be made to compensate). I do not believe there is an aluminum line that allows their use or the warranty will be voided. [/QUOTE]
