I put one on my skinny tunnel hull with a 25 hp Yamaha about 2 years ago made by a company called Permatrim in New Zealand.....Made a difference in my ability to get up and run around the Florida Gulf Coast here in the Chassahowitzka NWR ....Everything around here is associated with a lime rock bottom so I have to be able to run skinny.....Nice add on!!😎
Great video. Awesome info. I just purchased a used boat with a the shaw plate and bobs cone in it. I didn't realize how useful this plate can be if setup correctly. Now, I just need to figure out the sweet spot of the jack plate height and trim.
i personally would have made it about 2" longer. next thing to look at is additional transom wedge & a cupped prop. i noticed you dont trim at all. stock transoms are 16-18* but jets and shallow skiffs benefit from 20-22*. the main reason is to minimize prop wash when the jackplate is high. this keeps the nose from lifting as well. your pods already keep your lift fairly level though. Additional wedge will also allow you to keep the nose in the water witch is a must when theres a heavy chop. now that you have less skeg and less prop in the water consider stepping into a 4 blade prop. this will increase your grip witch will increase hole shot even more and help with some of that moderate cavitation you had. . ............Lastly youre testing a boat yet neither have on a life jacket.
I do not have the ability or know how to build something like this. But would a hydrofoil serve a limited purpose and increase the performance of my boat? Love my Honda as well.
Negative, I had a hydrofoil on it before I build this. It’s a world of difference, hydrofoil does not force hard water down to your prop and doesn’t give you half the lift that this does! I gained 3 mph more than with the hydrofoil

Awesome video as always and great job with the build!!!
Thanks brother, I appreciate it!

Thanks, I will be installing my wedge this weekend!
@@bayoubanditcharters awesome. KE me updated

I would say yes, it all depends on the type of boat and the hydrofoil design
from the video, at speed it looks like you could have trimmed up a little more with the engine, not the jackplate
That is awesome.
Thanks brother, it works awesome!
@@bayoubanditcharters You bet anytime
Hydrofoil can do the same job?! And can be useful to up the speed of the boat

A ripoff of the Shaw cavitation plate
Yes, I built it as close to the pictures I found of the Shaw wing. It has been working great!
what bout the trim setting??-did you leave that the same for all the runs???-i tried to look but ddnti see the motor trim change
Always start off trimmed all the way down and adjust accordingly as you plane off and reach top speed.
It’s a Shaw ripoff…you just stole someone’s design
We’ll if you call having the ability to build something from a picture and use it successfully, “stealing” then yes!
Wow you are an idiot. That isnt how "patents" work.
doesnt mean shit if he isnt selling it dipshit
You can copy anyone's design, you just can't sell it.
