[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 379351, member: 13702"] A flat bottom boat is going to bounce on the chop if it's on plane where you want it to be - the only safe thing (from a control standpoint - the boat should handle the stress though prolonged exposure might bring out the leaks in a riveted jon). The advantage to the hydrofoil is it will get you on plane on a lower speed - so you won't be hitting the chop with as much energy and it won't be as painful, and it will keep the boat closer to level getting on the plane (substantially reduce bow-rise) when properly installed. If your motor isn't installed correctly that's your first issue. [/QUOTE]
