[QUOTE="skipper123, post: 434445, member: 6070"] WOW you did a great job cutting that transom looks like a factory job to me. I have rigged out a lot of boats over the years and have found a hydrofoil sized for the outboard always helps getting on plane stays on plane at lower speeds and helps with prop blow out on sharp turns. As a rule you can trim motor up one pin hole just by adding one which some times picks up the speed a little it all depends on the hull design. I have never experienced any negative effects of running a hydrofoil if its sized properly for the outboard as some have said. I drill them holes in a skinny min on my new outboards and enjoy the benefits. I usually run a new outboard for a while so I know exactly how it performs without it and then install so I can see the difference. I am doing some research now as to which one I'm installing on the new 30HP Tohatsu. I want to get the RPM gauge installed first so I can see the difference with and without. [/QUOTE]
