cut_loose Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Hey guys .. Do you think i'd be worth selling a permatrim on here ? and what is it worth ? i don't even know what there worth new It came off my 60hp Yamaha Four Stroke, found that the boat didn't really need it and i prefer it off Edited January 24, 2011 by cut_loose
Tip Tip Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 is the boat a Haines because if so they dont seem to like foils for some reason
Catchin Jack Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 The one I have on mine are like wings off the side, works well on my Bar Raider. What's the problem with what you got now?
cut_loose Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 I have the Bay Raider mate We found we lost around 4-5 knots, the steering was abit heavy, and we were getting on the plane easy without it. 60hp is the max on this boat and when you put the throttle down it isn't sluggish at all and gets out of the hole quick, so i'd rather not have it on
Catchin Jack Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Interesting, I may remove my wings and see how it goes, had them on since I bought it. If I gain speed and notice no negative effects i'm going to keep mine off haha.
gretsch Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I paid anout $250 for mine for a 175 so maybe $180-$200 new. Permatrims are the best in my opinion. They will take the top speed down a tad and you're right, some boats are better without them. Second hand I reckon its worth $70-$80. Make sure you save the mounting bolts and nuts.
