I finally was able to run my boat with new tunnel tab. Good results all around. At cruise speed 60-70mph with tab down no porpise at all. Added bonus at top speed with 4 blade props gained about 2mph. Could feel the entire boat lift. With 3blade did not see any speed gain. I only ran about 1hr , with a little more time I may learn some more. One tip When I put tab full down to get on plane The boat was bow steering so much I almost crashed.
