So I happened across a screamin deal on a set of tabs (as in they are functional and I get everything for $100) but I am unsure exactly how to mount then to the stern of a 98' 200 Horizon given the ladder orientation. Would it be possible for someone that has a Horizon in the 1997-2000 range that has trim tabs installed to post a couple of pictures? Before ponying up a bill for these and driving 2 hours total I would like to know that they will work. Thanks. |

Why would you put tabs on an H200? |

Overcome poor weight distribution and prop torque, get on plane faster (important to a lesser extent), make the boat more stable in windy situations, keep the boat on plane at lower speeds. But aside from all that - why not do it for such a small initial investment? |

Why Not? So many advantages. I would if I found them at a good price. |

It would seem to me that it would make more sense to simply balance your load and/or not overload the boat. If the wind affects it that much, the water is probably a bit more wild than a boat of that size should be in anyway. Maybe I am off base, but I NEVER felt the need for them when I had my H200. |

It's more of a WANT then a NEED. Do I NEED them on a boat this size - absolutely not. Do I WANT them, sure, why not. From everything I have seen there are definite advantages to having them and no disadvantages. Plus, I NEED a 1/2 day project next time I go to the shore so the G/F can go relax at the beach rather then yelling at me to sit still for 8 hours. |
