Fat Jack...

Just an FYI...

When you use trim tabs to artificially plane a boat at a speed lower than what the hull would normally plane at, the wake increases dramatically. So although with trim tabs you can get just about any boat to plane off at 25 MPH, the wake created will be increased. Also, not all boats have trim tabs, nor are they required to have them.
