Looking good Frank. How is that high 5 working for you?

Using it for ballast at the moment, great for pulling but too low for efficient cruising

Thanks the measurements and info. I going to measure it up tomorrow and if numbers look right order up a set set smart tabs sx.

Found good price at Hodges Marine.
Huge improvement

well I ordered the smart tabs sx with the 60lbs Actuators. To put them on took about 40 minutes. Set up in number 3 hole, haven't test any other settings. It gets on plane about half the time and the bow never gets high enough that I can't see in front of me when planning off. So far are very impressed with them. Zero ill handling effects all been positive changes. My friend said it rides like a completely different and a better boat. I Just went river running only so far. I'll add some pictures of rear end of them installed on 1996 180 Shabah. Best $125.00 I spent so far on improvements to a boat.

I been testing props for last couple of weeks trying to get 3 good props dialed in. One for serious sking and tubing or full load with cooler unknown 17 pitch stainless with lots of cup. Got one for 2 or 3 people cursing\top end 23 pitch lasar 2. Looking at testing a 4 blade mercury aluminium 20 pitch for everyday use.

Re: 1996 Shabah 180 smart tabs SX
 

I thinking on putting my 23 lasar 2 back on and see if any changes to rpm or mph with tabs installed.. I was testing a unknown very old n.o.s Michigan wheel 19 pitch yesterday with the new tabs on first run with them and it was over reving at w.o.t. I normally only run mercury props....my cousin marina had this n.o.s 19 no cup 3 blade aluminum in there back room for years...told me to try it. Even my friend asked What s up with that prop...Not for my application....lol

Re: 1996 Shabah 180 smart tabs SX
 

We tried to tell you that :wink_thumbup: Some here were probably prepared to hunt you down if you put a foil back on.

I thought about the white version and wondered how it would look but decided black to match the motor. With the white ones it's sort of shouting at you to clean the hull now :yes_grin:

Re: 1996 Shabah 180 smart tabs SX
 

Sorry, it might have been someone else who was thinking about a foil on the lower unit. We send the dogs after them if they do that.
