After sitting for a few years, I'm seriously thinking about freshening up my 22" Advantage Sportcat. I miss the lake The boat always ran well on the top end, but with a big prop, it was a pain out of the hole. So I was thinking about some tabs. I used to have a small set of Bennetts over the tunnels that really helped the boat to plane quicker. But when I put the external steering on the rams were in the way so I went with a set of fixed tunnel tabs. That gets rid of the porpoise, but does nothing for the holeshot. I was looking at Dana's Sponson Tabs, but it doesn't look like they'll work on my boat due to the shape & size of the notch on the sponsons. So has anyone ever mounted a set of tabs on the transom on each sponson? Dana thought this would work for the hole shot, but may not work that great at speed. I don't care about using them at speed, boat runs fine there. I just want to be able to run a 30 or 32 prop and if I have more then 1 cooler and 1 passenger in the boat, I'm not looking at sky for 5 minutes trying to get on plane
