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?

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.

Just some feedback.
Took the boat out Saturday with the good weather. Seems to leap on plane at lower speed with the hydrofoil. Also more stable when heading straight but that might just be my perception. Overall I'm happy with it.

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 !!!!!

My 200 has fins but I didn't install them, never would either.

I am at a loss as to how the hole shot would improve, seems almost certain it would increase drag & slow the hole shot. Without any speed the fins do almost nothing, its the prop thrust that does all the work.

I've run dozens of motors with & without foils, can't say they do a thing.

Has anyone (other than the company selling them) tested these things?

Testify about the tabs though, my v doesn't have them & does OK, but man they are the cats meow in steep swells.
