Re: hydrofoil
dukster,What kind of full load are you talking about.A hydrofoil will help lift the stern but if youre pushing max. weight limits may not plane.<br />Weight distribution and motor trim are critical<br /> to planing under load.<br /> Foil probably would help porpoising some.If boat <br />porpoises when you trim out dont trim out so far or move some weight forward.<br />I think foils are great they did wonders with my mothers 15ft 50hp outboard and my sisters 120 hp 18ft Cobia bow rider.Just be aware it will lower empty speed some, though I dont think you can tell.They are also very helpful for keeping the boat on plane at lower rpm.<br /> Your boat weighs 500lbs and if your pushing the max 1200lbs people motor and gear it sure will be tough for a 25 to plane.You could go down a couple of inches in pitch but be careful not to <br />over rev when lightly loaded.<br />Would be good to have a tach.Tinytach makes one<br />not too expensive and supposed to be easy to install.They have a web site.
