Just busted another shear pin on a tab. Gonna cut the ram an inch so it really is out of the water :-) If this doesn't work I will remove my tabs :yes:
Don't want the expense of installing a dual ram set up.

I can't see not having tabs on a 22. I'd go with the dual rams.

If you're dropping the big bux on the K-planes, check out the Arneson Rocker Tabs. Check out the link...

GEOO used these on his X-18. They're used on a lot of the bigger boats. Another option to consider.

Very interesting. Basically adding a foot to the owl. Will this slow the boat down? With a sailboat it would speed it up.

So far so good after cutting down my rams each 1/2" and redrilling them.
