    CHRIS BAILEY FOIL ( BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART )

    Recieved my foil today for my Mercury 250xs with a sportmaster that CHRIS made for me . Looks fantastic the man did a great job. It is like a mirrow on top can't wait to put it on. Question if anyone can help. Any tips on installing it would be helpful the plastic one that's on their now is on the top of the cavitation plate this one goes on the bottom i'am pretty sure just need to make sure before i mount it And does it need any spacers between the foil & plate. Again big thanks to CHRIS for a fantastic product.

    i like 1/4 ss hex head bolts, thin ss washerson bolt head and nut side, rubber grommets in between cavitation plate and foil with ss teflon lock nuts. foil needs to be mounted under cavitation plate. ill post a pic of mine installed if i can find one. back of foil needs to be flush with back of cavitation plate.

    post a pic of it!

    Thanks for the mounting info Chris. Really did a great job on foil. My wife was amazed at how shinny it is. My computer is acting up so right now i can't post any pictures. But for everyones info this foil is way more than i expected and i'am very pleased. The MERCURY cut outs are absolutely beautiful. Great job thanks Chris.

    I'm waiting on my foil from Chris to come in, I'll be taking the bman foil off so I can compare if there are any noticeable differences in holeshot.

    I e been very satisfied with my foil over the last few years, if it wasn't just absolutely beat to crap I wouldn't be taking it off. I'm gonna stick it on my spare Lu.

    Looking forward to results I literally just ordered mine last week and Im having my friend powder coat it as we speak.
    You should look into being a sponsor maybe because these would sell like hotcakes I know you have a busy schedule but just let everybidy know up front and I think they will understand. Just a thought Im sure kickin myself in the arse for not finding out about these first

    i have already talked to al about being a sponsor, and yes i have a busy schedule and im limited to when i can build anything. the foils and plates thats laser cut are made at a fab shop so im at their mercy as far as time frame. its looking like about 2 weeks for a turn around(for the most part). hopefully, after all the different logos have been uploaded in machine, things will speed up. Any logos/words thats different than before all have to be drawn up, modified and then loaded, which takes time. honestly, im surprised the fab guy im using agreed to take anything in. i figured it would be a few different logos and that was it. he told that if someone can think it up, he can cut it. the "specialty" items im sure will take alittle longer.

    a mirrored ss foil with intimidator cut in sides would look pretty sick.

    for the guys getting these foils and plates, please give me your honest opinions good or bad as i will make changes thats needed and make it right with buyer if not happy with them. i have made mistakes and im sure i will make more but will try to keep them to a bare minimum. the best way to get in touch with me is by email or text if you have an iphone.

    Be very interested in hearing if there is a performance difference. They look very similar though just like the original Allison foil

    All three are probably the same shape. Also know it is much easier to pay more, hand the shop the order and walk away!! LOL Laser and waterjet, along with hidef plasma are about the only things that can efficiently cut these. All are expensive to own and operate. And yes, drawing and turning into a usable file is the fun part, not hard but can be time consuming for sure.

    I guess if I end up getting one I will have to have Stroker on it instead of Gambler so it makes my boat faster
