[QUOTE="Bigkat650, post: 268252, member: 7270"] All that foil would do is create more drag on your boat and cause you to go slower. It sounds like you are currently doing about all you can with that little 2.5hp. If you are looking to just get on plane to cruise a little nicer, you could think about upgrading to a 5 or 7hp. I'm not sure what your boat is rated for, but I would keep it at 9.9hp or less. I just don't think a 2.5 is quite enough motor for your set-up if your looking to cover larger distances a little quicker. [/QUOTE]
