Hydro Foil for '77 Johnson 85hp

[eterry]

Hey all, my 85 doesnt have power T&T and the bow lifts up on my trihull at about 1/4 throttle, and wont come down til it planes out. The problem is I fish in a lake with lots of flooded timber so I run a low throttle and I cant see the stumps until i am sitting on top of them!! Hit three last weekend, 2nd scared me bad enough to trailer the boat and do an inspection. When I had my 20 hp on the 14' alum. I had the same problem til I ordered a hydrofoil, I got it from Northern I think for next to nothing. Any ideas on where to find a reasonable Hydrofoil for this motor?

Thanks,
Eterry

move your tilt pin all the way in, you can also add smart tabs, will do better than foil.
