This pic shows the stern on a CPD Montauk with some trim tabs visible. I have the same tabs on my 1962 Classic 16-7.
Good thing? How do you adjust them? What re they called?
TIA,
Jim

Hate to burst your bubble but.....no longer made. taylor(the fender, etc co) made them up until about 1-2 years ago. They were like $60 and basically on anything over 15' did about zilch. My bud put a set on his flats boat and they helped but the doel-fin did more. The new type are the spring loaded ones for about $150-200. I hear they work great but can not adjust manually for listing. In my opinion I would spend 4400 and get the Lenco or Bennets. I also think tabs along with doel-fins are not necessary on Montauks.
