Installing trim tabs on jetboat

Bwibwi · #1 07-05-2008, 11:33 PM

Hi, I have a 21' thunderjet. When using it on the chuck it's pretty 'bouncy' through waves. I realize if I have my trolling motor in the down position it rides better. I'm wondering if I install trim tabs on the boat will it provide a smoother ride?

Thank you.

I've always used trim tabs to bury the bow in the chop for a better ride on my v hull boats. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a jet boat. is there any v at the bow at all?
