For those of you that have them, do you use them regularly?

Thinking of adding them to a 2001 CC. Don't want to waste the money on a "neat toy" so to speak.

I would not be with out them I troll alot and like the way I can troll a straight line with out touching the wheel no matter how I am loaded. I have a 24 foot CC and it takes the work out of driving.

I have them on my sea hunt ,they are great when you get used to them.they help you get up on plane faster and also keep your boat flat instead of leaning to one side.they can help you stay drier on a cross wind too.

I don't use them on boats longer than 19' unless you get to the 28' range. On my 28' I ran them as I would often have 8-10 ppl on board and several sit together and causes the boat to sit deeper on one side or the other. Tabs allows you to balance the boat better.
