Default Trim Tabs
Does anyone know why Mariah didn't install trim tabs at the factory?

    Back then ,
    they were just coming into their own with smaller boats (28' or less) if I remember.
    They were kinda a pain in the arse to operate too.
    And also , they were still quite expensive.
    Definitely weren't Smart Tabs yet.

    Just a guess

    Smart tabs didn't exist when the original Mariahs were being built.
