I have both: Bennetts on my smaller boats and Boat Levers on my Trojan F32. I would never be without Trims Tabs on a planing hull over 18' !

They both work ok, but its confusing, because each set's controls work opposite of the the other ...

Bennet sizing: http://www.bennetttrimtabs.com/size1.htm

12" long by 24" wide (Bennet recommends 30" wide per side) should work fine ... you could go a bit smaller, but no real $ savings ... and the larger tabs will help speed, economy and handling!
