NCangler,
I beg to differ with you about how the Triumph boats handle without trim tabs or hydrofoils. My 170 Bass from the factory was equipeed with a 4S Suzuki 70 hp. 90% of the time, it would not get on plane without someone walking forward while under excelleration. If I was alone I had to hold on to the steering wheel and walk as forward as possilbe. This is dangerous. So is driving a boat with the bow up in the air so visability is impared.
I am merely suggesting that Triumph post a notice on the boat or in the literature that trim tabs or hydrofoils will not only improve handling, but make for a better boating experience. I wish that I had had such a notice at the time of my purchase. It was only after complaining that my dealer suggested trim tabs, and then he did not now if they would help that much.
If your Triumph gets on plane without assistance and without having to go a half mile with the bow in the air. That is great. All I know is what my boat did before I installed trim tabs. I also have two different props so that WOT is in the range specified by Suzuki.
