Re: hydrofoil stabilizer

You will plane quicker and be able to hold plane at a lower speed, but no change on wake.

I put a Sting Ray II on my 20' deep V bowrider, helped to plane quicker, hold plane at lower speed, and takes corners better at speed. It smoothed out the wake a little.

Re: hydrofoil stabilizer

It will not do anything for the size of your wake. You can get a switchblade and it will improve your wake, but I personally wouldn't put one on my boat. The cheapest way to get a bigger wake is more people in the right places. You can also (if you have the space in rear lockers) fill coolers with lake water and place them in the lockers.

Re: hydrofoil stabilizer

check this board and you will find everyone recommends against hydrofoil but in favor of SMART TABS

Re: hydrofoil stabilizer

Dosen't SMART TABS flatten out the wake? Hydrofoils flattens my wake down, so those are OFF :D
But what about SMART TABS?

Re: hydrofoil stabilizer

when properly adjusted the smart tabs should rise to the level of the boat causing little or no interference. For more information- pick up the phone and call John at Nauticus. You will never find another company where the President will talk to you personally!
