[QUOTE="evidrine, post: 378399, member: 16902"] I was unsatisfied with how quickly I was able to get on plane with my boat. (Bass tracker pro16 with a mercury. 40) I ended up trying one of those stingrays fins that don't require you to drill holes to mount it. It basically slips on with a set of set screws to hold it in place. It was the cheapest route to try first , something like $40. Ended up significantly improving how quickly I was able to plane out. The handling in turns was improved also. The only drawback is that I did lose a little top end with it on. I also find that I have to keep the motor trimmed all the way down with the fin on or it will start to raise my bow and causes the boat to hop a little. I'm not sure if this is normal. It did what I wanted it to do though. [/QUOTE]
