Well no, not really lol I was only hitting 8 mph at best then my prop spun .....the nose would stay in the air...at full throttle it only sounded like it was at half throttle (engine working too hard?)
New prop, hydrofoil, went a click down on the trim settings.....
After taking it out the first try I was at the original trim peg setting but with the foil and new prop I hit 10.....nose was still pretty high so stopped and moved it down to the next trim setting (hoping I don't lose the peg in the river lol) then went at it again after a little fishing...I mean little
And wham! 15 in rough water nose stayed planted and ran smoother , as smooth as it could for the conditions letting the v bottom do it's job....
Very happy with the outcome...can't wait to go out in more favorable conditions!!
