Trim tabs?

I can not. It's close at 3/4 throttle but I still can notice it a bit.

Am understanding this correct; you can't go more than bout 3/4 throttle, no matter how far down you trim, before it starts porpoising??  Is that what you mean??? 

I'm curious, at about what speed does it start porpoising on you?  Also, you called it a sled so I'm assuming this is a flat bottom boat not a V-hull design, yes?

That is correct. I'm not sure on the speed. It's a scout lite, 6 degree, not totally flat.

Barely any sleds are flatties anymore. Slight Vee's plane faster and go shallower. Also cavitate wayyyyyy less.
More surface area.

Just goes to show, you learn something new everyday.  Cool, thank you.

I missed the part of that he had a jet.

Any trim tab you can't remotely control is worthless.  No disrespect intended but those Smart Tabs are a joke.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion,
There is a whole community on the iboats forums the disagree with that statement.
That is also where I learned about them.
I have been running them on my boat for 10 years, and the made a world of difference.
