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. -- Dwayne E.
