Trim Tabs? March 19 2008 at 9:34 AM		(Login jerrycnamken)


I have seen some commanders with after market trim tabs installed. Doesn't the design of the Commander hull enable it to get itself up on a plane pretty fast with the BB Fords and Chevys? Given that I going back in with the Crusader 454's, I wonder if I would need trim tabs. Most of our cruising will be here on the Chesapeake Bay. The Bay is famous for it chop. What's the scoop on trim tabs? Jerry
