[QUOTE="airshot, post: 495821, member: 1183"] I would use the smallest hydrofoil that will do the job, I have saw way to many larger units break off the cav plate on the outboard. In the couple of cases I needed one, I made my own from a piece of SS sheet metal .040 thick. It increased the cav plate toward the rear, very little added width. Far less pressure on that cav plate and almost no drag. The big thick, wide, plastic contraptions are the ones that cause the most damage and have the most drag. With a smaller thin SS sheetmetal unit much smaller screws can be used, thus much smaller holes, thus much less breakage issues. [/QUOTE]
