[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 400660, member: 13975"] I have the bolt on one on my 17' Spectrum aluminum bass boat with a 70hp Force. It may help me plane a little better/faster but not much. My boat has a very smooth hull aside from the rivets and not too big of chines either so it doesn't take turns well...but the hydrofoil really helps in that department. Fuel economy seems the same either way. I choose to run without it primarily because it seems to create some extra noise and because I'm always bumping my shin on it while its on the trailer. I will put it on though if I am anticipating and unusually rough water as it seems to help a little in that area (I typically choose to go fish in sheltered areas though in those cases). [/QUOTE]
