flatsmatt Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I cannot find the answer so I'm tossing this out here: What years (or when did this begin if still current design) were the fishers built with recessed trim tabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado213 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm not sure on the specific years but I believe only the 19' and 20' Hewes have the recessed tabs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaFullCircle Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 My redfisher is. It is a cad hull. I think 2000-2010 all had recessed tabs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the term 'cad' a few times now. Is that computer aided design or does it mean something else in Hewes parlance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaFullCircle Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 It refers to the hull manufactured after the lappys, smooth sided Hull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizumz Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 I have a 1999 Light Tackle 18 with recessed tabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennF Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Our 2013 had the recessed tabs and our 2018 did not (thank god) the tabs worked so much better on the newer hull. Less porpoising and much better trim angles Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
