I purchased a set of Nauticus Smart Tabs to put on the boat before the family and I left to vacation in the North Woods of Wisconsin last week. As with most of my projects I didn't quite get around to putting them on in time. I did, however, decide to bring the package with me.
After dropping in and out of plane while pulling the boys around behind the boat, I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled the boat out of the water and took it over to Watercraft Sales Inc. in Three Lakes, Wisconsin to put the tabs on for me. They did an absolutely beautiful job installing the tabs; chamfered the drilled holes so the gel coat wouldn't crack, used the proper sealant to seal around the screws - definitely money wells spent to have them install the tabs!!
After picking up the wife and kids, we went to drop the boat in the water. My oldest son and wife drove the boat while I drove the trailer back to the resort with my other two boys. When I went down to the dock to meet the boat, first words out of my wife's mouth were, "Best money spent on the boat so far!!".
These tabs are amazing!! Boat planes out at 10 - 11 mph now where as before I needed to get to 14 - 16 mph. I never lose sight of the horzon at WOT, and the boat just really gets up and goes. And the thing I liked most was that I was able to pull the little guys around in the tube at a slower speed without dropping out of plane!!!
I have to give the Nauticus Smart Tabs a big :thumbsup: !!
