I recently upgraded to a Howard 22 Offshore and love it. It's got the 496 HO with a Bravo 1X and runs great, but it seems to take a while to get up on plane. I've tried playing with the trim tabs, but they don't seem to do much good coming out of the hole. It also seems to be prone to porpoise-nosing in semi rough water with the drive all the way down and the tabs adjusted.
I've been toying with idea of installing K-Planes to see if that would do the trick. I did some searching before I posted this and it seems that the K-Planes would help with the porpoise-nosing, but I didn't see anything about helping it to plane quicker.
Then there is the question about orientation. Do I follow the contour of the hull or do I keep them parallel to the water?
Thanks in advance.
