I'm glad it's not just me who's had a long day...;)

I did trim mine back a couple of inches so that they came flush with the transom when the boat was snugged up tight on the trailer. That way i never have to worry about the bunks damaging things like the Smart Tabs.

1. I would either lose or forget them before I got to the ramp.

2. I would forget to put them in at launch and end up trying to hook them back up while on the water - at which point I would fall over the backside of the transom into the water and lose them anyways.

3. I would probably lose my phone and wallet as well, because i'm lucky like that.

Also, where I launch there is a high probability that a snapping turtle might eat my keys after they fall out of my pocket while I flail around in the water trying to get that ladder down to crawl back into the boat.

Thus I cut my bunks

After reading through most of the smart tab threads and looking at lots of pictures and getting some good advice from Rhinoz....I installed my tabs last night and went smoothly.

I am planning on going to the lake tomorrow with the gf and trying them out and adjusting as needed. I pretty much had most of all of the same issues as everyone else but I think the one that bothered me the most was the proposing in rougher water. I really hope that will be fixed as I live in kansas and wind is just part of boating. I always dreaded cutting across the lake. I would always pay attention to other boats and it seemed like everyone elses boat was not taking a pounding like mine.

Thanks! I will post some pics for others to use as a guide and give some feedback on the test run.

Re: 1996 Z210 Smart Tabs
 

I'm thinking of buying smart tabs. According to all I've read, it sounds like they are a great investment. Any downfalls? Any suggestions on what size to get for my 19'?

thanks all

I love mine. Could tell immediately upon installation a huge change in my ability to get on plane. If you search for them in the forums there are several different conversations.
