I have a 99 270 SE with Bennett 12x12 tabs they work fine for most of the time I boat mostly in Puget Sound with a lot of changing conditions we have been out the last 3 days one evening we had 15-20 knot winds 4' wind waves the next morning 1 knot winds calm. I have no problem planing at 24 knots 1-2' waves my question is sometimes in rough weather rip tides white caps we would like to be able to stay on plane around 10 knots. Using a digital degree gauge 24 knots on plane boat angle is between 4-6 degrees, at 10 knots with wind lots of chop tabs all the way down boat angle is 7-8 degrees. Any suggestions on getting closer to 5 degrees in rough water, larger tabs, different approach.
Thanks in advance
