[QUOTE="richg99, post: 421856, member: 4376"] Ha Ha....pretty normal for hydrofoils. They raise the stern but drop the speed. The real solution IMHO is Smart Tabs. They cost ten times what that device cost you, though. Some handy guys have welded tabs onto the stern of their tinnies. If you got the configuration right the first time, that might work. But, I like the push and pull of the gas struts on the Smart Tabs. You might just keep looking around for a manual jackplate. Raising the engine might solve the problem all by itself. Not every boat needs a hydrofoil or Smart Tabs. richg99 [/QUOTE]
