    sometimes you can stay on plane at a lower speed, it's highly dependent on motor height as to how it effects handling. If you're jacked up it won't be in the water at speed anyway...

    Thanx Bud,,,,,I'm already running(cavitation plate) 3'' above the bottom of the boat so I don't see any advantage of installing the tale,,,,,I wonder if it would keep more water flowing into the lower unit water inlets,,,,,,I use my trim tabs now to crawl on plane over the flats now
    ,,,I appreciate your quick response

    It may still help you pop out quicker. I run the Bob's machine "true tracker" plate.
