Hey guys, just thought I would let you know about the foil. So I recently bought a 13 FX21 with a 250 SHO. Anytime between 25-40 it would porpoise sooo badly I had to gas it about 50, even if I trimmed down with the motor and the jackplate. So I got a hold of Chris Bailey and get set up with a foil! They had a laser cutter go down but I did get it after a few weeks. Was able to install this last Saturday and it was surprisingly super easy!!!! So i tested it 2 days and let me tell you, if your wondering about getting one....DON'T HESITATE!!!! This thing is sooooo awesome, literally shoots out of the hole- the nose barely goes up and just goes. Secondly-I can just cruise with no worries and ZERO porpoising, its very smooth. I was on a lake with somewhat of some good corners while running and it made the boat handle way better, even just cruising around 40-55 it would just turn, and even getting up to 60+ it would turn where you wanted it to and not skid nearly as much! I wouldn't go without one on any boat ever again! Benefits completely weigh out the cost, and honestly its very cheap to do!!!
