Hi,<br /><br />I see these trim tabs all over the place and they claim increased efficiency/speed when put on an inflatable zodiac/avon boat. I have a 13' avon and a soon to be 18hp Tohatsu 4stroke. Anyone have these trim tabs? Any experiences with them? Thanks.<br /><br />Adam

Re: Do inflatable boat trim tabs work?

I was just looking at the Nauticus trim tabs and one thing that loses my faith is the tricky photo manipulations. The photo of the boat accelerating before trim tabs the horizon is tilted back. And then in the photo trying to illustrate how the boat is planing level the horizon is now tilted the other way giving the impression that the boat is now level. I hate false advertising! <br />

<br />Not a coincidence either. Heres another set<br />

<br /><br />I dunno, with kind of trick advertising maybe I answered my own question. I probably don't need em. :rolleyes:
