My 2002 170 Bass has a 70 HP Suzuki 4 stroke and usually won't get to plane without someone walking toward the bow while accelerating. I have read all of the previous threads from 2005 forward and can't tell whether hydrofoils or trim tabs are the best solution. I am not fond of having holes drilled in the plate on my motor to attach a hydrofoil. I am also not too fond of the extra wiring and plumbing for hydrolic or electric trim tabs. I found Nauticus Smart Tabs on the net and am wondering if anyone has used them. If so what size did they get and did they improve getting on to plane and top end speed? My current top end speed at 5600 rpm on smooth water is 33 mph per my gps. All help will be appreciated. I am in California so I had to go with the heavier 4 stroke when I bought my boat and since my old boat had a Suzuki 2 stroke which I liked, I stayed with Suzuki.
