The Boat: 1998 Wellcraft 222 Elite Overall length: 22'6" / 6.9 m Weight (dry): 4,100 lbs. Engine: 260 Mercruiser outdrive (350 c.i.)
The Installer: Tim Dunford, Red Wing, Minnesota

Trim Tab System: Bennett M120 Sport Tabs

Installation Notes:

This Wellcraft 222 Elite is the pefect candidate for the M120 sport tabs. The heavy eight cylinder engine can cause slow planing when the boat is loaded with passengers and a full fuel tank. The M120's 10" span (side to side) and 12" chord (fore to aft) help to give the stern the lift it needs for quick planing with heavy loads, and are still narrow enough to easily fit them alongside speed sensors and transducers. Any listing problems caused by weight imbalances can be quickly corrected by adjusting the trim tabs. The M120 trim tab kit comes with preconnected hydraulic lines, making installation a simple process.

Sea Trial Results:

"Tested again on rough inland waters. 3 people, 3/4 fuel. Excellent on-plane time. (Popped out of the hole). The tabs significantly reduced pounding from the rough water too."
