Re: Not sure
This is a hydrofoil (water-wing). It is literally a wing that goes through water, providing 'lift' at the back end, and helping get the bow down and the stern up faster.
However:
There are drawbacks. Some people say it negatively effects the way a boat handles, particularly in turns. Also, the hydrofoil takes energy that should be used to make the boat go forward, and uses it to keep the back up. Poor use of energy. So while it helps hole shot, it will lower top speed. In your case, that may not bee so bad. Some say it puts too much stress on the engine.
Bottom line:
It works, but with lots of drawbacks. I am pretty sure that the general consensus around here is that the Smart Tabs do a much better job of helping get and stay on plane, w/o lowering top speed, etc. Yeah they are more expensive and they don't work on some hulls (like if you have a swim step etc.), but in general, they are much better.
Final thought:
As long as you've got the hydrofoil already, and the holes are already drilled int the anti-cav plate, it probably couldn't hurt to try it out. If you do, make your turns wide at first, and then progressively tighter to check the effect in turns.
