Some one explained the horizontal tab on one of the other posts. As I recall the speeds were higher that way and turning at speed was better. There was a handling down side but for the life of me I can not remember. The thread was in the General area as I recal. You may be able to find it.

A bunch of hear say and personal preference. We all have our own.
Horizontal has advantages in light seas and not so much in heavy. It seems they first started going that route when V's went fast enough to chine walk.I first noticed early '80's.
Kind of like training wheels for chine walkers.
Ever since the Zenetics boat every one followed suit.

This is an interesting topic. I was also looking into tabs for my 25' Eliminator Eagle. It will chine as well when i trim up for top speed. It's fine until i start to hit some chop. I run on small lakes, so most of the chop isn't any larger than 1-2's. I currently try and bump stear the chine walk out, but havn't been 100 percent successful at that. I was hoping the tabs would settle down the hull...............

cloudmaster,
It will. Your steering and /or play in drive will also contribute to walking.
Can you wiggle the drive back and forth when its on the trailer or lift or do you already have hydraulic?
