My 2003 Trophy 2359 takes what I consider an inordinately long time to come up to step. You have to do it in phases. An old Bayrunner 16 that I used to own benefitted greatly from the addition of one of those Sport Marine SE Sport 300 hydrofoils to cure the same thing, but of course we're talking totally different power-to-weight ratios. Thoughts, pros and cons of adding a hydrofoil to the outdrive for the Mercruiser 350? Will it interfere with trailering while lifting the outdrive? Will it help the boat come up to plane faster? And "no", I don't bury the throttle with this boat. It's a heavy cruiser so I run it up in steps gradually.
