Has anybody out there ever mounted so "self adjustable" trim tabs on their Montauk 150?

I'm thinking of installing a pair of Nauticus SX9510-40 in the hopes to get better out of the hole performance and get on to plane better with a full boat load (5/6 people). Nauticus said they have helped many customers put them on whaler boats over the years with much success. I believe they talk about the 17' and up models. You need 10" of height clearance from the bottom of the boat up where the actuator mounts and with my swim ladder that means it would be mounted just to the right of the ladder. i.e. close to center of the boat right next to the 60 HP where the different rise step is.
I don't want to buy these tabs and put mounting holes in my transom before I know it has been tried out on a Montauk 150.

Before somebody refers me to the 2009 and 2010 threads about why and why not to use these Smart tabs let me tell you I did read all of it but my concern is where to place them on my 15 ft. hull as I cannot do it on the outside of my transom due to where my factory mounted swim-ladder sits hence I need to know if somebody installed a set on a 150 Montauk hull.

I know it will help with porpoising and getting onto plane with less passenger shifting around.

Please show some transom pictures with mounted Smart Tabs.
