At speeds of 7 knots and above... I enjoy our boat's responsiveness to its trim tabs' similar or independent attitude adjustments. I like to fully utilize our Tolly's trim tabs’ capabilities. Regarding weight adjustment on board... they work well for beam trim at speeds just below hull speed through to 22 knots at WOT (they accomplish no beam trim at real low speeds). They also work wonderfully regarding fore to aft planing trim. While boat is on plane at any speed their adjustment is notable for slightly increasing rpm as well as a small %age of increased knots on GPS readings.
