Please explain the difference on why you chose to put a hydrofoil on after replacing the prop? What did a new prop do for the boat? If it helped with top end, what pitch is the prop?
Cheers mrnurse2u, The 16p Stainless prop that you see in the video provided a higher top end speed, however capped out at 5100rpms even with the hydrofoil. However in the end we installed a lighter 15p aluminium prop(not as pretty) which suited the boat perfectly. 5600 rpm and an apprx 5% increase in top end speed. Hope that answered the question. Cheers
Had it on for a year with no issue. One thing I did notice was that every so often I would have to push the hydrofoil apprx 1.5cm back towards the transom of the boat as it seemed like it would slip from its holding position. However it did not affect the performance. Cheers
She will be a great naval engineer some day !!!! Congrats !!!!

awesome keep it up but its hard to make videos if the kids are there
And does the hydrofoil works?
Absolutely, keeps the nose down and instantly helped with getting on the plane quicker. Cheers
