Do you have an issue with stability at all speeds? Or just when cruising? I've found that our 35, with flybridge, is really comfortable at 20kn, and not so much as you increase past 23/24kn.

We have a soft top and I really think it's just a case of the boat being a bit unstable as she lifts more of the hull out of the water at speed. My - some time in the near future - solution will hopefully be an auto-tab control install.
Nice to see you around Doug.

The ZipWake system looks very interesting. A couple of new downeast builds on the Downeast Boat Forum have implemented them and they have been very happy. I believe that they're something to look into.

Thanks Kevin!

The Zipwake is what got me re-interested in this type of control. I saw a demo at the Norwalk Boat Show in 2019 and it looked really interesting. Of course that would mean removing the existing tabs and a bunch of rework - so if anything happens this year it would be an update to my existing Bennett system.

I'll keep you posted!
