This is my first weekend with smart tabs instead of the fin. (I know, it took me a while to do it) 

Glad to see you discovered SmartTabs.  They are the hot ticket when it comes to these boats!!  Enjoy your summer.

I had the exact same issue with my 192.  I switched to a 4 blade 18" prop and it made a huge difference.  I got on plane much faster, porpoising practically gone.  The only downside is that I lost a little top end speed, but not enough to make a huge difference

Oooops! I meant I switched to a 14.25" 18 pitch 4 blade prop.
