His Craig's list ad reflects either a semi-humorist bent with a paranoid leaning, or a confirmation that he seriously flunked both his marketing and public relations classes.

I've had both the trim tabs & Permatrim. Starting fresh I would install the Permatrim first and see how that works for you. They do a good job, but if doesn't do all you want or expect. Add the trim tabs. Reason for going this route is why punch more holes in the boat unless it's needed.

10 or 11 ga is plenty thick for the stainless. Stainless can vary quite a bit as I understand it. A good marine grade SS does the job. I had an identical bracket to the one in the pics on a 22' for 8 years and it looked as good at 8 as it did at 1. Mike Barber is the guru on bracket...
