Only reason I welded tabs on my 1448 is so I could run with two people sitting on the back with a gas tank and battery. Before I put the tabs it would run 28mph with just me in the boat. After the tabs it would do 30mph with two people sitting on the back. This is with a 25 merc 2 stroke. If you want to bang on the bottom of your boat have at it. Tabs were a benefit for me so I was happy. If you want speed get a bullet or allison.
