I was able to obtain secret footage from our Bimini 2016 crossing featuring @Bruce riding with his trim tabs deployed.

At exactly 2:46 you will see @Bruce's Sx230 equipped with his custom-built Lectrotab trim tabs (on the right) next to my tab-less SX190 (on the left). Draw your own conclusions.

Also featured, @robert843 comes cruising along in his heavily moded jet ski at 3:06.

Boats with suspension....pretty crafty!!
 
Hmmmm, think there's time to get this mod done before Bimini?
 
Sea Doo has had suspension skis for years boats are finally catching up. A lot of coast guard small craft now have the suspension seats. At the 2 minute mark you see this one at work offshore.

At the 3:40 mark @tim h shows up for a side-by-side comparison.
 
Flashback to the pre-internet 70's video era... with the music, and the name of the company, I was expecting the "pizza delivery boy" to show up at the dock in the video.
