Very puzzling. You are right - you would think the Permatrim would be at the surface when the boat is on plane.

Serpa4, just to make sure everybody is on the same page here. When you are assessing the depth of the Pematrim below the surface of the water, are you talking about while the boat is on plane? That is definitely what you need to check. The Permatrim should be right at the surface (maybe a...

A possible "point" of confusion on the tab: Some may think of the tab "pointing" as indicated by the movement of the edge of the tab furthest from the tab's pivot point, i.e., which way has the line of the tab moved off center, or which way has the aft edge of the tab moved; Others may...

Agree 100% with Colby. Andy is friendly and extremely helpful - even patient and kind to the ignorant beginning boater I was when I called him.

If you type "Permatrim" in the search box just above your post, you will find a ton of discussion. I loved mine. I think most people who install them do also. I would recommend following the manufacturers instructions on installation. I know mine called for bolting on. One important aspect...

Upper left on the Home Page (it says "DONATE" in red) - unless, ironically, as happened on a tablet screen of mine, a pop-up ad covers it up.

Sounds like an excellent game plan. Thanks again for all your efforts. This is, and will remain, my favorite place in the webosphere.

Interesting article in the NY Times about the Columbia River Bar and the Coast Guard Motor National Lifeboat School. If you like to read about conditions you never want to see in your boat, here's another place for vicarious enjoyment of extreme danger...

That has happened to me, too.

On my Samsung tablet the ads mess with my page layout and with navigating around the site. It is more than annoying. It makes the site pretty much useless. OTOH, on my desktop, I have no issues at all because I installed an ad blocker. Kinda hate to do that because it defeats the whole...

The latest edition of Waggoner's has a picture of a C-Dory in a beautiful Inside Passage setting: https://waggonerguide.com/waggoner-flotilla-trips-update/ Anyone know whose boat it is?

It's enough to make you drool, isn't it! Unfortunately, I'm afraid for my budget that exchange rate would have to be about three to one. Regarding the outboard: There are two show model boats in the OP's first picture. One does have a Yamaha hanging off the back. Might be interesting to...

Just passed the ferry terminal on Nordic Drive, right? I walked by it several times. Fantastic work you are doing in restoring this boat!

A day that was headed in the wrong direction on a number of fronts just got a whole lot better! In fact, I've nearly forgotten most of my other troubles. One thing, though: I am mostly of the non-nerd persuasion, and I'm having a hard time reserving an IP address for ethernet and wifi...

We had a 23 with a single burner Wallas. We boated year round and often in Alaskan waters. We spent many nights on the boat. I was OK with the way the stove heated the cabin. My wife was not quite so thrilled. I installed a Wallas heater. We were both glad I did. My wife more so than I...

Thanks for posting this. It does my heart good! I'm the original owner of the boat now named "Charlie Rock." She's seen a fair piece of the country - from Alaska to Florida and quite a bit in between. I've corresponded with the current owner several times, and I'm sure he's taken good care...

I believe the OP said the boat is in "ROSBURG," Washington, which is a good 4 hours north of "Roseburg," Oregon.

John, the new link works. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. Love the pictures and commentary. Regards, Bill

Rob, I think you may be talking about the link in the post by Harvey. Bob is talking about the link in John's original post. I am having the same experience as Bob (and now Paul, apparently) with John's link.
