I took one off my last boat and installed trim tabs.

On plane almost immediately and stays on plane at much slower speed

Matter of fact I have a set still in the box.
Bought em then decided I wanted Bennett’s.

Come to think of it I have a hydrofoil too.
Anyone interested PM me

I’ve never use that particular brand. But I have used a item called a Whale Tale helped yo get the boat up on plane. This was on a tiller type outboard. Not on boat like yours. Like sinker said I believe your trim tabs do that.

I have added them in the past to outboard but didn’t change much. I think probably help a boat that is lightweight stay in water in choppy conditions but all the rest they advertise seems to be not on all applications.

T Tabs are great to have especially in big water or if boat wants to list etc due to big OL good buddy on one side and skinny buddy on other side etc. you practice and t tabs are cool to use to slightly steer boat too at medium or other throttle settings without using steering wheel. Bigger the boat the more useful they are.

Dole fin got me on plane quickly at a lower speed but slowed my top speed. Took them off again.

I dont happen to have that brand but I do use them and they work very well. Trip pads work too but they are more expensive and more involved to install.

I have one on my 40hp tiller...it really helps to get me on plane and helps with overall stability. I saw the difference immediately.

Sounds like one or the other ...trim tabs or this attachment , work well, but dont need both?

There are some advantages to each but you don't need both.
