Even though you really don't need them, It feels like the boat jumps on plane faster when the tabs are down. Once on plane I put the tabs up.
They're also useful for correctly an uneven loading, but I usually just ask people to switch seats. That tab dragging through the water has to burn extra fuel.
It also feels like the boat will stay on plane at lower speeds with the tabs down. It feels that way, but I haven't done any serious testing. In general, my 300 seems to fall off plane around 20 mph, it really doesn't like to go slow.
Like everyone else I've found that the 300 can only handle a small amount of engine trim.
