    “PERMATRIM”

    I did mount a Permatrim on my 22 Cruiser .It made a big diference in handling at slow speed. I was able to plane at a slower speed and I did not use as much gas. It helped with trim .My boat was also fitted with a wedge. That gave me addtional negative motor trim. I also had trim tabs on each side.
