new hydrofoil results and thanks

[billengelman]

Thanks to a number of threads on this site, I decided to go out and get a SE 200 Sport hydrofoil for my 14ft. fishing boat with a 9.9 Merc on it. While installing it, I also raised the motor about 1.5 inches to make the hydrofoil more or less even to the bottom of the hull. WOW!! I went from a nearly unusable boat to a smooth and very quick little setup for my 200 acre lake in southeastern Wisconsin.<br />Before these minor, easy and cheap ($40.00 at Bass Pro) fixes my boat would be very difficult to steer, take forever to plane, and would porpose badly once getting on plane. Not any more. It takes only a few second to plane, turns on a dime and is smooth and quick. <br />Thanks for all the info from everyone who contributes to this site.

Aren't they great?!?!<br /><br />Makes you wonder why the manufacturers don't deliver their motors with hydrofoils as an integral part, no?
