Does anyone have any recommendations on where to purchase one for my 2007 Suzuki 115?

Thanks a bunch

I believe (could be wrong) that the Shipyard Island Marina http://www.shipyardisland.com/ is the US distributor for Prematrim.

The funny thing is that this marina is a tiny place located on Washington Island, WI - has about 20 slips and a small place to eat.

Why not give Marc at Wefings a call? That's where I bought mine.

It's one claim to fame is that it's

"The Permatrim capital of America"

(I wonder where their UPS drop station is?) Laughing

I bought mine from the previous distributor. He was located in San Diego so I saved shipping by dropping by the address. Private home - BIG garage. So a small marina is a huge step up....

There's only one US distributor. If Wefing handles them, he's about the only "dealer" I know of.

I've got a question for you Permatrim believers. I've noticed that when we're under way, I pretty much ALWAYS need to max out the trim tabs and the engine trim to keep the bow down. We ususally travel consistently between 2500-4000 rpm which puts our speed anywhere from ~8 knots to ~12 knots [on the GPS]. It helps to move as much weight forward as possible, but there's a limit to how much is movable. I'm running a Suzuki 150 with NO kicker, so the stern will only get HEAVIER, once I get one.

Will a Permatrin help lift the stern under these conditions? Worth the investment?

Rick "Foggy Dew" and I installed a Permatrim on C-Pearl (CD 25) last spring. One trip across the lake convinced both of us that was the best investment made. I have a single Suzuki 150. I do not use the trim tabs while cruising under 12 to 15 mph. Only when I want to pick up the speed do I mess with the tabs.
A lot of the other brands would not fit that engine correctly.

Sorry Bob to answer your question I do not remember where I got them but I did get the info off this site. You and Nancy need to get up here for a while!!
