Yet to sea trials
Its too cold to get the boat out yet but now its ready to go. I had watched a couple you tube videos prior to the device arrived, but once it did, I was ready to install it.. i'm guessing it took longer to get the drill and wrenches gathered up than it did to install it. simply clamped it in place, dril the holes and attach the foil and it was done! Its just that easy.. From what everyone is saying, the performance is greatly.. Thanks for the quick delivery.
I have not received the product.
What should I do next?
I had an issue with the first foil I purchased , after discussing the issue with the manufacturer/ seller the issues was resolved.
Support received on this matter was above and beyond the normal usually received from Vendors.
Thank you very much for your support !
I recommend this company and appreciate the support and timely matter they resolved the issue I encountered.
This appears to be a great product and I will post further comments as I use the product more .
As I seen the sponsored ad on Facebook and Instagram for the hydrofoil, my initial thought was, if it's that good, why didn't the boat manufacturer do it from the start? I'm sure we all thought the same thing. The damn thing really works. I installed it, went out to Castaic Lake, the boat got on plane immediately and the turns were sharper considering I have an M-Shaped hull which does not like sharp turns. So yeah, it works. I installed it on a mercury 90 outboard 4-stroke with a 4-fin prop on a bayliner element m17. I'm very happy with the results. Installation is super simple.
