my boat (1986 Bayliner 1410 Trophy Fish & Ski w/ 1987 50hp Force outboard with manual t&t) had a Attwood Hydro-Stabilier on it when i got it. Does anyone have experience with this hydrafoil?? I have great speed with a light load, but with heavier loads, my boat wont plane out.. after consulting with a prop shop, they said a new prop the same size(10 3/8 X 11 1/2) might help a little(mine is chewed up some) but that changing the size wouldnt really help my boat.. would a different brand hydrafoil possibly help me? would taking it off help?<br /><br />thanks<br />jason

Jason, I'm not sure any different foil would make your situation any better. First I would make sure the tilt-pin is in the bottom hole.<br /> What RPM do you get with, say 2 people in the boat???

Would not hurt to try and take it off, if no better put it back on.
