I just bought a 13.5' welded Gregor with an early 80's 10hp honda 4strk. Out on the lake today with just me, a 60lb dog, trolling motor, battery and gear I was moving at 17.5mph and it took probably 6-8 seconds to get on plane. I'm wondering about the advantages of a small hydrofoil. I've read they will help you get on plane quicker but what about top speed? Will it help or hurt? I dont want this to be a dog with two guys, gear and crab pots on board. I was looking at the walmart junior hydrofoil which claims to increase top speed.
Any other ideas to increase top speed? The boat is rated for 25hp but this little honda runs so good I plan to keep it even if it is a bit slow.
