I recently purchased a 2005 2310 with Anderson bracket and Yamaha F250 in San Diego. During the sea trial I noticed that the boat was slow to plane out, would not stay on plane below 18 knots, had a bit of bow rise during acceleration to plane and the tabs appearded to be too small for this boat.
Well after reading lots of info on this sight before purchase and having owned many boats the last 30+ years I felt comfortable that adding larger tabs and a Permatrim the boat would be much better handling and have better low speed abilities and maybe get better fuel milage.
Well I have to say that the only mod I did before taking my new boat out was to add the Permatrim. I have to say that I am quite impresed with the upgrade. At this point I dont see the need to add bigger tabs. The boat jumps onto plane now with no bow rise, planes down to 12.5 knots, clearly seems to be running more effiently but no hard data for that assumption. I now dont use any tabs except to trim side to side balance. Picked up 2 knots on the top end at 5800 rpm to 33.5 knots.
I have now had 2 full days on the water out of Morro Bay Ca. First day was very calm with a small long period swell h
just likemy sea trial, second day was breezy with 10-15 knots of NW wind with 4-6' long period swell. Both trips were with 2 people, 50% fuel, stock 17p 3 blade yamaha prop and motor in lowest position.
The results from just the Permatrim upgrade are nothing short of amazing. Cant wait to try other mods like moving engine up and 4 blade prop.
A big Thank You to you guys for your wisdom and sharing. I now own a boat that I am very happy with and quite impressed with its abilities.
