Default Hydrofoil stabilizer question

I've put hydrofoils on my last four boats, all different shapes and sizes,
ranging from 20 feet to 16 feet. The good things were..they helped with the
hole shot and brought the bow down very quickly.

The bad thing(s) were...ALL of the negatives listed above. Cracked cav.
plate; they slow down the boat...the device continues driving the boat up
when it should be level, etc.

I have now switched BOTH of my present smaller boats to "Smart Tabs"
(BassProShops...about $150.00) . They are a great device that gets my boats
up and flat in very shallow water. No more bow in my way when I blast
off.... You can just do a google search on Smart Tabs to get lots of
comments. Or, go to the manufacturer's site
http://www.nauticusinc.com/index_1024.html and read his comments and
testimonials. He, apparently, also has something called Monster tabs for
larger bass boats. I have NO personal knowledge of those tabs. I presume
they do the same thing for a larger sized boat.

A number of the Carolina Skiff Owners have put Smart Tabs on their boats and
so far, all of the comments have been positive.
