I have 1984 Skeeter ss-1 fisherman that is 15.5 feet long with a 75 horse merc. on it.
It has a doel-fin hydrofoil on it that came attached by the previous owner when I bought it.
When the boat is on plane at WOT it seems that the boat rides too much in a bow down position even when trimmed all the way out. The hydrofoil is supposed to provide stern lift (I think), so would removing the hydrofoil allow the boat at a better attitude, or is ther another problem, or maybe that is the way the boat is supposed to ride.
When I see other bass boats on the lake, most of their hull is out of the water which reduces drag, and Im thinking that the hydrofoil is hampering my performance.
Thanks for the input!
