Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Hydra Foil on the cav plate? 130 Sport

I have recently acquired a 2002 130 Sport with a 2 cycle Merc 40HP. Runs great but somewhat slow to get up on plane with more than 2 people. I removed the 13" pitch prop & installed a 10" pitch- which works much better. Was considering trying a bolt-on hydrafoil device on the motor's cavitation plate. Has anyone had experience with these devices and what results have you seen? Any advice is appreciated. The manufacturer's promise the moon and then some- "better hole shot..........better fuel economy......better handling........chick magnet.......etc."
