It looks like you didn't trim the motor up with the foil on, making it act like a brake. Trim it up properly and repeat the testing, and you may be pleased with the results.

@SmallCraftCruising Ай бұрын

trim was not the focus of the video and was left out, however the motor was trimmed as needed. I did many speed runs and only filmed some of them

@thilltony3362 Ай бұрын

@@SmallCraftCruising Maybe not the focus, but if you experiment, you will usually find that the boat runs differently with the foil on, and requires a different trim angle. Experiment and see if you can find the sweet spot.

That particular is brand is hands down the best on the market... I've been running one on my bass rigs for 15 years... Been paid for many times over is saved gas. DO NOT BUY ANY of the units where you don't drill- they will not stay on your engine. Drill the1/4" bolt holes and forget about it. These SE's have a fool proof template for a perfect installation. If anyone tells you these don't work- you can bet they have never tried it. Guess that's enough said..

@alphacapo 3 ай бұрын

If you wanna turn and get better bite. And lift at low speed You have power trim. Just tuck the motor in a bit. No need for the whale tail thats my opinion. I run a 30hp mariner on a 16x42 trim makes all the difference. I can eek out 31mph if i trim up as for as i can. But i cant corner without blowout. So when i turn i just tuck in the motor about flat trim and i can turn full lock at wide open throttle no problem. Drive your boat. I use an 11 and 12 pitch props

My father did this (although on the sides instead of the outboard) to his row-boat style boat with a 5hp outboard. Before it just raised the nose up and didn't glide but after a few screws and glass fibre panels the boat started planing and top speed almost doubled with the same engine.

You should tell mercury, Suzuki and Yamaha, none of the know this secret

@Munakas-wq3gp 3 ай бұрын

They don't need this secret if the boat is the planing type and the engine is strong enough. However this trick can make a non-planing hull plane or at least semi-plane. It wouldn't make any sense to install these flaps to a planing hull.

The correct way is balance, which is the weight distribution in the boat as well as its design, gas tanks, the position of the console, etc. etc. When you see a boat with trim tabs stabilizer... you should doubt its performance.The same thing happens in an airplane, its weight distribution is important, you will not see additional wings attached to compensate the imbalance.

@Munakas-wq3gp 3 ай бұрын

When you have a small boat with an outboard and the driver handling the outboard, there's no way to balance the weight unless you want to put 200kg of ballast to the nose. That would seriously hamper the performance.

I don't understand why the engine manufacturers don't just form the anti-cavitation plate in this configuration if they work so well. Seems like it would be better than an aftermarket add-on.

That drift wood is not hard to get through, and the lake goes on for miles. At full pool you can take your boat to Kirch flat camp ground, There is some very good fishing on up the lake, and when you get to the current its good for trout.

Your boat reminds me of the 1965 14ft Starcraft Runabout my brother and I restored. It came with a 25. It was not enough. The boat show had lots of great deals. We put a 40hp and it was a great kneeboard and tubing boat for 4 people. I now have a 73' 16ft with a 125hp. No reason to spend 50k on a new boat. I like the colors on yours. Very classic. We went with red top and white bottom.

Does that Szuk have power trim? Trim er up some when you get on plane. Also you might be able to raise the motor up some if your motor has additional mounting holes. You want the anti ventilation plate about even with or just a tad bit above the bottom of the boat. That way the fin would be just above and not really touching the surface of the water when on plane, eliminating it's drag, but should still work at lower speeds. Just my thoughts.

@alphacapo 3 ай бұрын

Idk what prop he has....but it's too much pitch ....that boat needs no more than 11 pitch that will get you to the top of the Rev range and better lift at low rpm. (Up on plane at a lower speed so you can cruise more efficient.

I put that same hydrofoil on my 14 1/2 foot StarCraft John boat with a 25 Yamaha. Made a world a difference. It was nearly uncontrollable without it and it would porpoise uncontrollably. Now it drives like a new boat. It’s an amazing transformation.
