Who's got the money and desire to put one of these things on a c-dory and see what happens? My naval architect says they're amazing.

Permatrim on steroids. But there are several cats made with foils between the hulls, The design for these is available on the internet: just modify one for the C Dory.

| I had a similar looking devise but a lot smaller on my 15Hp Johnson on a 14 foot open skiff and it gave the stern significant lift. It was actually a skeg guard with a small wing on the bottom, called a rock hopper motor guard that I got from Cabela's but can't find it on their online catalog now. Also worked great as a skeg guard. |

So this is why I bought a Perma-trim
But have yet to install it
Have found that I barely use the trim tabs, just to level the boat
But then I haven't had any real weight in the stern yet either
