I am not that familiar with your boat all I can say is call Nauticus.

My old glastron had a similar transom. You're going to have to mount the tabs pretty far inboard on the flat part...

I believe that with some rearranging they can be mounted on the outside, the speedo pickup will have to move inboard and the tie downs will need the lower or upper mount relocated. Jdeagro will be back in here after awhile he can say for sure. It will be worth the effort, the best money you will ever spend on your boat. One other thing, hydrafoil needs to come off.

I am looking to take the foil off. I started this thread in reference to another about my boat leaning to the left severely on take-off and while on plane.

Here is the other thread

Thanks for the replies

Another picture of the transom.

No one has given a recommendation as to which type of tabs to buy.
