Re: Installed a Drag Foil
Just got her wet. Launches a hell of a lot faster with far less bow lift. Acceleration from a standstill I notice the motor stays lower in the revs, and pulls harder, it must have been slipping before and I didn't know it. Settles down the porpoising under 50 to almost non existent..... Best bang for the buck mod so far!!!

Get some more cup put in your prop and it will not slip as much

Re: Installed a Drag Foil
The prop I have is a worked 24, but I don't know what has been done to it, or for what boat. Will be trying out a few props this weekend I think.... You may have misunderstood me though. The prop seems to bite a lot harder now than it used to, I notice my revs just after planing are lower and the boat is accelerating faster, so it must have been slipping at that point before I installed the plate and I didn't know it.

Re: Installed a Drag Foil
Looks awesome. You get them from someone on S&F? I seen a guy making them and they looks awesome and heard nothing but good about them.

Re: Installed a Drag Foil
Yes he's on hpbc as well. I bought one of his last ones. He discontinued it after one broke, he's working on a composite design right now. The breakage was due to it's sensitivity to chemicals, so as long as I don't use cleaners on it I should be fine.

Look on screamandfly.com, eagle one sells one, sounds like a decent design as well.
