Default Hydrofoil stabilizer question


"Rob Storm" wrote in message
...
OK -- I still like kayaks and float tubes, but I'm trying to learn about
bass
boats. What do you guys think about hydrofoil stabilizers -- Do they
actually
help get your boat on plane quicker? Do you actually save money on gas?
Which one is best? All input greatly appreciated.


Rob,

They will give the boat an assist in getting on plane, but it's been my
experience that either something is wrong with the boat setup, i.e.
underpowered, propped inappropriately, motor set too high/low or the ever
popular, "Operator Error".

I don't think they're needed, it's just a quick fix for an underlying
problem.
