[QUOTE="Scott06z71, post: 378786, member: 11993"] Thanks guys for the feedback. Currently I fill the live well in the front bench. I have my trolling motor battery in front of the front bench plus my trolling motor mounted on the front bow. (Minn Kota Endura C2) That all helps some. As far as slowing down goes I come off plane when I slow down. I'm just trying to determine if it is worth spending the money on a hydrofoil if that will help any. I still have 4 years left on my motor warranty so I can't drill any holes in it or it will void the warranty. I found an SE Sport 200 hydrofoil for around $50 then the sport clip (drill free) adapter is another $50. I don't want to spend $100 and no notice a difference. If it will help then it will be money well spent to me. I know it is not going to ride like a fiberglass boat but I do want to make it ride the best I can for what it is. It is great until I get on the river where the wind creates a chop. Thanks again for all the feedback. [/QUOTE]
