Cant wait for the results too. Where did you buy the kit from? What size tabs are on your boat now? Do you have to replace them? The trim tabs I currently have are 10" wide x 11" depth. Can anybody tell me if these are stock or should I go bigger. The Bennett site said I should have...

We named our boat after my mother in law. She always wanted a boat and when she heard we were buying one she offered to help pay for it. Much to our surprise. A very nice gift. Everyone calls her Marilyn D. So my wife put a play of words to it and we call it "The Marlin D" with a picture of...

Finally have some pictures as requested. Thank you all for your help.

Yes I would leave the seat base intact and add the captains chair some how. I would love to try the sun pad but my boat does not have one. Maybe I should have a booster seat made instead of the captains chair. Would be cheaper. I think I might add the Auto trim tabs and I really love the...

I will definitely purchase from a sponsor on this site. I was able to control the listing using the trim tabs. Was afraid if I turned around rather quickly the boat would react differently with the tabs set rather than the tabs being retracted all the way. I do feel more comfortable. I...

Finally getting the hang of the trim tabs, somewhat. My only concern is when I have the boat properly trimmed, what happens when I decide to turn around? Will the boat list excessively in either direction due to the trim tabs being used? Phlordia, roughly how much was the automatic trim...

Thank you Phlordia, I will review this weekend.

I was able to get the lights working on the dashboard gauges. Just wiggled a few wires. I will practice with the trim tabs. I was told to move the tabs up and down together to keep the boat from listing side to side. Kind of seems to defeats the purpose of individual tabs. I am hoping a...

Hi Alwhite, I am trying to get use to it. The boat seems to list to the port side initially. When I do play with the tabs and get the boat level, it seems to list to the other side as the speed is increased and especially when I throttle down. Its scary! Love the swim platform on your...

Hi everyone, my name is Kirk. I'm a new member and recently purchased a 1995 25' Sundancer. I posted in the newbie forum prior to buying the boat and received some great input. My one concern was the size of engine for this boat. I stated that I wanted to accommodate 6-8 people for cruising...

Sorry. Had a hard time logging back in. It is a 1995 25' Sundancer with a 5.7 Merc Bravo 2 outdrive. The rating says 10 people or 1800 lbs. I take it the label is misleading. Phlordia how does the boat ride with 6-7 people on it?

I found a beautiful 1995 25' Sundance that I would like to purchase. I want to use this boat to pull a tube or water skier in addition to just cruising and sitting near the beach. I am concerned the engine is undersized to have 6-7 people on board and still pull a skier. I also want to trail...
