single or double trim tabs???

[rcguy76]

I just started building a John Finch Wildthing and wanted some opions on whether I should follow the plans trim tabs which is a single tab, 1 7/8" wide 2" out from the transom or should I make a split tab about 2 1/2" wide....will the double tab make that much difference?

thanks

I don't have any mono's, but double tabs are better. That way you can adjust the inner tabs for straightaways, and the outer tabs for when the boat leans into a turn. That of course is assuming that your boat has enough of a V for the edges to come out of the water. If they're alwys in the water anyways, then double won't make a difference.
