But on a medium
sized vee hull or mod-v that's a few horses short of being a solid
performer, it can make all the difference in the world.

I've had a couple on older bass boats and (currently have one on
a 364v Ranger) they've made a world of difference, IMO. Keep in mind
that the results really vary according to the boat and setup.

The biggest benefit is that it definitely increases holeshot and
thats important if you have to get out of shallow or stumpy water
alot. I also experienced better and more stable steering, slightly
better gas mileage and ability to plane out at lower speeds. They are
very hard to break (unless you are reversing your motor after your
boat is caught in a flooded stump field - don't ask) and they are very
useful for getting your butt back in the boat if you take a swim or
accidental dive.

Since the price of these things are very reasonable, IMO, this
product (or a hydrofoil similar to it) is a must "gizmo" for some
boats...kinda like I think the Hamby's hull protector is a must gizmo
for anyone who fishes shallow sandy or rocky watter.
