Wedge or not, I'd still get trim tabs. Tabs came on my flats boat. I would have never ordered them on such a small boat. I don't want another boat without them now. They're useful for way more than keeping the bow down. I can get up on a plane faster and run in shallower water, level the boat when both dogs want to ride on the same side, slow my trolling speed down and get a bit more speed at WOT.
