[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 109882, member: 55"] How does the boat ride? When you start to give it gas from idle, does the bow rise, or does it continue to push water? How does it sit (for and aft) at rest? Nose slightly up, or slightly down? On many tiller operated boats, you can't get enough weight in the bow to combat the stern digging in. Usually, a little more bow weight is helpful. However, on your rig, you are already sitting further forward, along with 2 batteries (most boats of that size have only one), so you are probably a little nose heavy. If that is truly the case, a hydrofoil is actually going to make things worse. It is designed for stern lift. [/QUOTE]
