I've had them on my 21ft Seaswirl Striper for over 8 yrs and wouldnt leave the dock without them, I have a 200hp engine and Bennits get me up on step, able to take waves easier and I've fished as much as 300 hours a season, both inside and outside. IMHO you should get the position indicator as well. I am also able to level quicker saving fuel and obtaining optimal speed for the RPMs I like to run at. You'll notice a difference for sure and wont be sorry. Just my 2cents
Stay safe, Tight lines

PS and yes with the beefier deck hands your able to level out
