Well worth it!!!
Works exceptionally well! Nose of the boat stays down from slow speeds all the way through the acceleration to cruising speed. It was easy to install and the white looks great on my white motor. It also helped my fish finder transducer maintain constant connection with the water while traveling at cruising speed. Definitely recommend this

Works great
Installed on a Mercruiser 5.0 with alpha 1 gen 2 outdrive to solve slow planing. The boat is a 20' Monterey Montura. Plenty of power, but the boat loaded just has a stern heavy situation. I don't allow the kids up front when the boat is on plane and the water is choppy so to the big couch in the back they go, hence the always stern heavy. Boat would plane out nice at 18-20 mph but that's a tad fast for kids learning to knee board etc. With the SE300 it made all the difference in the world. Now it has very little now lift and full plane is achieved at 14-15 MPH. Much more comfortable for everyone in the boat, and I can safely see over the bow while seated.Install is straight forward, follow instructions and center the foil and mark your holes carefully before you drill. I also chamfered the holes once drilled to relieve any chips or micro cracks from drilling. Then treat the holes with self etching primer and small paint brush. I used large area stainless steel washers (not supplied) on the bottom where the hardware contacted the cav plate. This spreads the load of the screw over a larger area and will prevent cracks or damage to the cav plate.

Definitely feel the difference while driving boat in water. Quicker response while making turns and smooth period. Quality is good .

May need additional hardware.
Installed on a 2005 Glastron GX205 w/ 5.0 270HP engine. Taking it out tomorrow so I will see if I notice any changes in operation and holeshot and will update here. Hoping it eliminates or greatly improves the big “squat” when launching from a stop.Pros:1) Template to mark holes for drilling was perfect.2) Has a nice look to it. I need to repaint my outboard now!Cons: 1) had to go buy longer stainless steel hardware as the included screws I could barely get on thread rotation on the nuts without using the rubber washers. I purchased actual stainless bolts (not Phillips screws as you can’t get that “umph” to tighten). I also purchased stainless metal washers to go on the bottom of the rubber washers and stainless lock washers. I am NOW confident this is sturdy and not going anywhere. Just need to use my cutoff wheel to trim the excess on the bolts.2) part is plastic, I didn’t even think about what it was made out of. Idk how long it will last out here in AZ as plastic gets brittle with excessive heat so I’m already questioning the longevity of it but for $75 or whatever it was we shall see!

Amazing product
Installation using the included template was simple and easy. Great product. It really made a 200% difference in getting our 16’ open bow with a 90 horse motor on plane quickly. I fully recommend this product.

This works great I thought I would lose a couple mph but it didn't seem to make a difference it helped the boat out a lot and made the ride nice and smooth

16’ Lund angler 50hp motor
2021 Lund angler 50hp motor. Been using for about a year. Had no complaints about the boat in the first place, just had positive experiences with this style hydrofoil in the past. I do 50/50 shallow rivers to big lakes. Thing works great. Got 2mph top end stock prop @ 6k rpm (28mph to30mph). Once you get the feel for the trim, the nose really doesn’t rise at all at take off. Very nice for shallow rivers. Planes faster and once you get on plane you can slow back down a little and remain there. I can turn sharper without cavitation (still cavitates, not as quickly). This product is boat specific. Different experience on my old 16’ bass tracker, and a 20’ pontoon. Still good results but no top end gain with tracker or pontoon. I want to add I didn’t want to drill through the node so I shaved the hydrofoils opening wider so it slipped further back. Mounting holes now miss the node. Also, if the hydrofoil is level with the cavitation plate it doesn’t work as well. Putting some nylon washers in the front of the foil to angle the rear of it down had better results. Obviously, too much angle slows the boat down. You’d think they’d mention something about angling the foil to fit your needs.

Died my cavitation issue.
Great for fixing cavitation problems. I went from no pickup to taking off in seconds. I was about to ditch a performance 22 pitch prop to loving my boats take off.Incredible change.👍👍👍
