Age old question. I'd make my own turn fins and put one on each side of grey and have the height just above the keel in a tear drop shape and slanted back alittle. Now trim tabs is a poor bandage for a poor setup. Now if you want them, fine, just make your own out of .064 aluminuum sheet size 10" x 4" from LHS. Make the 1 1/4" wide and 1 1/4" long and the add 1/2" for the bend. Make the turn fins 90 degrees to the bottom of hull. Make tabs flush with bottom and neutral. They do add drag tho. I have 22" monos with no trim tabs and run with twin turn fins and work great. Trim tabs are for loos. Really long turn fins add drag. I have a No Step 1 with no t/tabs and small turn fins and turns on a dime, not for sale.

The fish tailing is because of the steering out drive.Yes set-up does have some to do with it but turn fins will help keep the rear from sliding out in a turn.I know i could get a stinger and new steering fin set-up but i can't afford it right now so i'm just trying to get this thing drivable till i can upgrade to those.
