I noticed the 24 Schiada's all run a 28" tab parallel with the water. I did a lot of homework on tabs the last few days. I was unsure about using a kicked tail or not. Marine Industrial is minutes from my office. I'll pick his brain.
So funny you mentioned this. I was literally lying in bed convincing myself that now is the time to make the change. You're thinking the 30" tabs over the 24"?

Thank you! More to come. A local guy Joe who retired from his own cover business and now does it out of his garage stitched it up. It's Sunbrella material which is very durable and more water resistant than water proof. It ran me $1,800 only because I had the material run down and cover nearly...
