    That ship, the one in the photo, I highly doubt that it would get permission to carry 12 passengers.

    They have some reguarment the boat must pass; i made some modification. But anyway my question is if enlarge those flaps, Will i get easily on plane. They now are very big but narrow.
    It is one of the first version of the surface drive, fixed, now modern drive you can trim, and steer with them

    Nice looking boat, welcome to the forum tonipu

    You need wide not narrow trim tabs/flaps.

    The aft region most has been cut away for those props. And now you have more weight and different LCG distribution than originally designed for the hull.
    You need to address this... since you now need more lifting surface aft, i.e. where those "pockets" for the props are located.
    Thus wider tabs, which take up as much space (lifting surface) as possible, to gain back what has been lost - the lifting surface to plane - which is influencing the you issue you have.

    Look at your flaps:

    Compared to the original:

    Notice how their flap covers almost all the region of the hull cut away, for the props...

    Are we to assume the tabs can be completely withdrawn at speed, and not in the water at all ? If they can be, I would be tempted to apply a wedge at the trailing end, to get high lift there, if the structure would be up to the load. That way you would get two bites at the cherry, at the leading edge, and at the wedge.
