Not really. Drive trim up decreases the wetted hull area. Trim tabs can be used to level your boat due to unbalanced weight port to starboard or can be used to let your boat's deeper V toward the bow break slop. My lake boat has a 24 degree hull at transom but is way steeper toward the bow- in 3-4' winni chop I use tabs down to get the bow down. Use your tabs well and you can get dock space all over the Lake when many are sitting home!
