[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 373001, member: 1931"] I took my 1860 tracker to the bay for a Blast and Cast Men's Ministry duck hunt. While on plane I could run in 18" to maybe a foot of water. However I could not get up on plane from a dead stop. I do not have a tunnel. I have a 90hp Force with a 3 blade prop. I know that I can add a 4 blade and that should help me with hole shot. What I'm curious about is a jack plate and a hydrofoil ( whale tail or what ever name you want to call them). Will a jack plate work even though I don't have a tunnel? Will a hydrofoil help also or in conjunction with a jack plate? I really want to be able to run a bit skinnier than what I'm able to right now. More importantly i want to be able to get up in less water. Any advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
