Has any power boat manufacturer incorporated the hydrofoil pioneered by sailboat racing? With these boats it only takes 18 knots to get up on the foils.

Do you have room on your boat for those wings? The ones underneath play hell on the shallow water draft of a bass boat!!!

When you get the chance take a look at some videos regarding this technology. The "wings" are not in the water at slower speeds. in fact they are not in the water at higher speeds unless deployed by the captain. They use hydraulic means of deployment and can be deployed independent of each other and also used for steering. Also, my question goes to power boats in general, not just bass boats.Originally Posted by Skeet'r89
