[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 400617, member: 12995"] I had a 17' Wahoo center console with a Mercury 90 hp that had one on it when I bought it. I was worried about it possibly clipping the side of a big rock so one day I took the hydrofoil off and took it out for a run. At about 2/3 throttle it started to porpoise and it took longer to plane off so I put it right back on and it ran so much better with it I left it on. Towards the end of the season I clipped a big rock with the motor but luckily had no damage to the motor or fin and decided to sell it since that summer was a higher than normal river level so I think I got really lucky making it through the season.
