GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I've always heard that with these planer wings installed, you get higher speeds from your boat. In a loaded boat maybe...but in a slightly loaded boat the opposite was true for me... any comments or experiences with these or similar planing wings?
I'm new to boating but just replaced stinger hydrofoil with a dolphin. dolphin is alot smaller probably 40% of the area the stingray took.<br /><br />The stingray would get up on plane fairly quickly even with full load in almost any conditions I would definitly recomend one if you are running near weight capacity. <br /><br />The dolphin improves handling and gets up on plane fast however with a full load and chop/wind I had to have everyone go to the bow to get up on plane. I lost about 2-3 mph with this hydrofoil so I would say the sting ray does improve speed and getting up on plane but it's more sluggish for handling in tight turns and staying on plane<br /><br />I have not tried running without a hydrofoil
