Hey Gene...to answer some of your ???
I was told by the dealer and all the info from c-dory that I have 150 gal tanks...75Port75 Starboard....Yes I love how stable the TC is when drifting or pulling pots...got 9 out there now..will pull in a few again soon
Friskies Cat Food Ocean Blend works in a pinch!!!

Hey did you note that I said I got on plane at 8 to 10 kts..with the permatrims??? should be great for tuna!!!I found that you have to trim up past neutral range...and back down speed from a higher speed.... once you are down to 8kts you can stay at that speed...ON PLANE it is hard to come up from 0 to 8 and plane....15 to 8 trimed up works with peratrims...hey I saw some shrimp in my pots when I pulled...have you ever used shrimp traps??
