Latest project to squeeze a bit more out of snowbird seems to have worked, now lifts it's bum better and gained 2 knots flat out, cruises a few 100 rpm lower without digging in too.
All 4 tabs are hydraulically adjusted and it will sit as level as I want it to, Ali said we could cruise with a better attitude but I pointed out that was wrong as I'd still be a knob!
Gone from a pair of 20" x 8" tabs to a pair of 22" x 12" & a pair of 25" x 12", just a small gain in surface area.....
Trim tabs before:
Trim tabs after:

No bought bennetts at a hideous cost, it still revs to max rated rpm after a bit of build up and it's giving 2 knots over the prop guys expectation so I recon that's about all it will ever do with the hp available, same speed 200-300rpm lower has to be a fuel saving and easier on the ears as looking to do a few 6+ hour runs this year if the weather plays fair, got my sights on gt.yarmouth/whitby/scarborough/wells/gt.yarmouth for summer hols and maybe another ramsgate run in august.
Gonna be an expensive diesel year......

Did you make your own Dave (Knob) and just buy the hydraulics?
Next you'll be fitting hydroplanes?
Way to go anyway IF the pay-off isn't too much increased drag cancelling the increased lift!
Finally living the dream!
