Re: water wings?
I suspect what chris is asking about is what goes under the trade-name 'StingRay' and 'Dolfin'. They are a device that mounts to the anti-cavitation plate on the top of the LU to aid in achieving plane in a shorter distance. And yes, they do work, especially in the case of slightly underpowered boats. They work by keeping the bow of the boat down during initial power application. This way the boat will ride up on top sooner rather than plowing water. The StingRay works great on my boat.
