Default RE: I ran tabs on a 16 ft boat....

My buddy put them on his 1950 tyee, they helped keep the bow down while pounding through lake erie chop, I rode in the boat many times before and after and I can tell you they do work great, they take some adjusting to get them just right but once that got figured out the boat rode alot better. They helped the boat get up on plane easier and kept the boat on plane at lower speeds. I will tell you also that he took them off once he re powered to a 200, prior he had a 115. The bigger motor propped right elinated the neeed for them after the fact. They also work well for leveling out the boat due to kicker on one side and big fisherman vs small guy(s) on the other side of the boat... They work great I would say go for them..He had the smart tabs with the actuators, they make different types for different boats, they are built in NE Ohio in Brecksville.
