23' CC trim tab selection

Hi Peter B

The ST16 are a very good tab for boats that go faster UP TO 60 MPH. Bennett is really not in the market to build tabs for speed boats 70-100+ MPH. The K-Plane from mercury racing is the tab for that. The ST16 provides more lift because of the 16” back into the water column. Bennett does make custom tab for OEM’s – original equipment manufacturers – meaning boat builders only after prints have been made and engineering departments from the builder and Bennett OK the plans.
If the drop fins don’t work good enough on the 12x12 for you than a longer chord would the best way to go. As for them being to much tab for your boat they would work just fine but as stated 4 actuators take twice as long to go up or down from 7-9 seconds to approx 15 seconds. The only issue that we as Seacraft owners have to deal with is the 12” span because of our longitudinal step hull design.
