I have an '06 Mainship. They call it a trawler only because it looks like one ... and I agree its strictly marketing that stole the term and it unfortunately takes away from the heavy displacement boats that run at true hull speeds - the true trawlers.
That said, I rarely travel more than about 7.5 knots except when I'm blowing out the turbo.
At 7.5 knots, the trim tabs are very effective for doing their intended job of 'trimming' when guest movement introduces unwelcome heeling. In the few times when I've wanted to run faster, I can't get close to the boat's top end without the tabs down.
