[QUOTE="nlester, post: 268149, member: 8483"] I have a 10' mod v jon boat with a 2.5 hp mercury. Will a hydrofoil help level a boat with only 2.5 hp? I have the trolling motor and the battery in the front of the boat. With the gas engine, the stern squats right down. If I am going a long distance, I put on a handle extension and sit in the middle of the boat. I prefer to be in the back of the boat for better control. Here is a hydrofoil listed for 1.5 to 40 hp motors. Do you think it would be worth while? All the comments that I have seen are for 9 hp motors and above.
