I think I know the comments I am going to get before I ask, but I have to. Has anyone ever tried a hydrofoil on a 16 or 18. I know there is a lot of negative press about "gimmicks" and don't work, but hear me out. I have a 16 with 350 retrofit. And I am not sure if it has to do with the extra weight or just part of the 16 hull design, but porpoising is pretty bad at about 30 MPH. I have Bennet TT's so I can adjust it away or drive through it, and it goes away at about 35MPH and stays away.
I previously had a 18 Baja and it already had one on. My friends made fun of me so I took it off. Well it was night and day. With the dolphin tail, it came up on plane much quicker, little bow rise, and did not effect top end one bit. And it actually felt more stable at top end (on a good day 54). So here is the question. Has anybody tried this and would they recommend one, and if so what brand? Or is there anybody out there that would like to talk me out of this because it's a bad idea. I have heard negatives that it hurs outdrive and may become unstable at higher speeds (p.s. I am still exploring that area so I don't want any surprises!!
Thanks for any insight into this.
