Well, 3 months later I've finally got the tabs fitted. Hopefully I'll be able to get out soon to test them.
Ended up getting some Bennetts off E-bay at well under half what I could buy them for locally. Minor setback arose when I realised they were bottom-mount tabs but I've adapted them with the use of some stainless angle and bolts. Been in touch with Bennett in the US and they say this will work fine.
Got the Cyclone out on Sunday to give the tabs a test.
Very impressed with the result. Was blowing about 15 knots in the morning and was able to easily keep the nose down and level the boat out heading across wind.
Improved the ride and handling out of sight, eliminated porpoising, also got onto the plane a lot quicker.
Best money I've spent on the old girl. As others have said, I wouldn't have another boat without them!
