[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 384725, member: 15465"] Status update: Got the composite hydrofoil mounted & went for a couple rides. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Friday may day 006.JPG"]74605._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Friday may day 002.JPG"]74604._xfImport[/ATTACH] Still no home run, getting more cavition than I would like. I am going to add another layer of wood on the leading edge. Will just screw that to the base layer, at least for now (had enough of the fiberglass routine for awhile!). I took wifey & doggie out & it works much better with the extra weight. Reduced tendency to cavitate about 50%, I would guess. Wifey liked driving it, was a good thing to hear. An unintended consequence - Now I am getting much more vibration transmitted into the hull. I can feel engine vibration in floor & up thru the seat. At 1st I thought my engine was running rougher but I now think the wood panels are coupling the ski insert to the alum hull with much more rigidity. A good thing I guess. This is a long term hobby for sure! [/QUOTE]
