[QUOTE="flyingvranch, post: 371946, member: 13744"] I've got one on my 12ft v-bottom with an older 18hp Evinrude. The motor is so heavy for the boat that it will not get up on plane easily without it. Now it jumps right up and hauls butt. It was worth every penny. You need to make sure that your cavitation plate is at just the right height so that when you are at speed the foil is mostly out of the water and then it won't hurt your top end speed. My foil has wings that are tilted up like an airplane dihedral. This seems to be the best kind for my little motor. If you don't like it you can always remove it. [/QUOTE]
