Also .. The holes will not affect performance.. Very easy to take off or put on...

hum might be on to something here spend money to correct planing , chine walk , porposing and slow boat down quite a bit all issues fixed or save your money by not buying hydro foil stay off the throttle and get better mpgs , fix all said issues and still have the gusto when you have the need for speed lol sounds like a no brainer to me

Well back from Lake George as suspected didn't get alot of fishing time in but managed to get 2 or 3 days in, nothing great to report there, a couple of small smallies tough fishing. Did do some tubing had no trouble without the hydro foil most of the time was pulling the kids at slower speeds between 15-25 depending on the kid a little hard keeping on plane especially around that 15 mhr mark but not bad,did get my brother in law on for a ride got him up to 35 with no problem and he's a big boy around 220. The boat ran like a dream found out top speed with only me in the boat was 62.3 on the gps and handle beautifully real happy with it
