Hydrofoil on V20

[THEFERMANATOR]

Not on a v20, but I've always used the stingray classic hydrofoil on my jon boats and skiffs. I'm looking into possibly going with the se300 on my current skiff to try and stop my porpoising. Why are you looking into one? A prop change may be better suited depending on your problem. Tabs are a better option as they are selective and can compensate for uneven loads as well as improve the ride in rough water.

I have the se on my v20 cuddy with 175 Johnson '95 it mainly helps getting out of the hole quicker and smoother and allows me to stay on plane at slower speeds it helps mostly at medium to slow speeds and is less noticeable at high speeds (smooths the ride and helps some with trim) I have had it for many years and it has taken knocks the color has faded some white to grey

Read good and bad about smart tabs. Do you have them on a V20 with an outboard?

Where you located? I have one in NJ

I don't, my V is a junker and I have so many projects that likely I'll never finish it but have seen them in action on LOTS of boats....

I've never found ANYONE with anything bad to say about them except for people who had no experience with them and just wanted to argue the foil vs tabs thing because the foil is what they'd always run......

Again and again tabs just flat out work and work well.

I realize this is not a new thread but I installed the SE300 Hydrofoil on my Pursuit. Took the boat out yesterday and what a difference !! It just jumped up on plane ,I was more than impressed. No more prop blow out on turns either... I couldn't play around much with it as I had to go out and retrieve my son in law who broke down with a fuel issue. ,, these kids ruin everything !!!!!
