The Mary Ellen is a 2001 22' Cruiser with twin 40HP Hondas. The only complaint I have had is not having the ability to have lateral trim for uneven loads. I read where several were happy with Permatrim fins so I looked up the web site and also talked to the US distributer via e-mail. I am not easily convinced but I decided to give them a try. I am happy to report that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and they do as advertised. Just the slightest touch of the trim switch and the boat reacts. I think trim tabs would be better with a single engine, but with twins the Permatrims do what I wanted. Anyone else tried them on twins?
I will post a couple of pictures of the new Permatrims in the Mary Ellen album. Happy boating, Big Mac.
 
There are photos of my single Honda 50 mounted Permatrim in Amelia Anne's photo album.

This replaced the Honda-packaged SST hydrofoil I use last season. The lift from the SST foil made for some very strange handling in turns and the boat would often take a heel and stay there.

Permatrim seems much better. I've not noticed any difference is WOT speed.
