I think you need a larger set of tabs!

You may want to give a shorter set a try. When we tried long ones on the 30 Superboat we lost a LOT of speed.

Glad to see you put the front tank back in. The boat looks great! Maddy had told me that he had cut a bulkhead in the front to make the boat more useable as a pleasure boat. I am sure Steve has looked at it and made any changes if they are needed. I look forward to seeing the boat.

These are the original tabs the boat had, custom made by Steve Stepp. Not sure if it slowed the boat down any as it set the world record at the time so they should work for us now. However, if it seems like they are hurting more than helping I'm sure Steve will look at changing them somehow, he's going to wring every last mph out of this thing

Those tabs were called Wolverines. My 30 had them also. They work and the placement seems to work on a 30.

These boats have a big almost flat pad they are gentle at 75 mph and anything but at 85 MPH. In the proper hands they can be very fast and accelerate.

This particular boat has an added strake down low that feeds the pad and a more gradual transition from V to pad that makes the running surface longer.

By most accounts it is/was the best running 30 ever.
