As for a low water pick-up, they can actually cost you speed. I know I lost speed on my flats boat with one, but I needed it for teh shallow running I did. The low water pick-up puts more material in the water in front of teh prop which increases drag. High speed boats need them though to force teh water in as teh side pick-ups lose efficiency at a certain point. Somewhere around 60-65 is when you need to consider one is what I was told.
