I can't really awnser the tab question . But a while back you were having a performance issue I believe . Did you get that sorted out ? It may not be a tab issue.

What rpm are you getting at wide out throttle ? and what speeds are you getting ?

we ran the boat for 7 hours to get it home it ran 18 knots @ 2100 rpm s that's about the highest I've seen
we averaged 16 knots at 1800
bow high all the way

Revs sound decent, speed a bit slow. Clean running gear? Props in good shape? Tabs on the boat now running properly through their whole range and holding pressure? Those are some easier things to check before going crazy trying to figure it out.
