I received the foil in the mail this morning from Chris. I have purchased many, many accessories for my boats over the years and I must say that the build quality and craftsmanship of this piece is second to none......................it truly is a work of art. Overall install probably took me an hour and very easy to do. Many thanks Chris and looking forward to the weekend to get to try it out on Bull Shoals............................ Roger Rose

Very nice Roger, this might be the answer for skinny water on the Mississippi on my Ranger. I'll be looking forward to your critique of how it does on your boat.

Dang Roger it looks awesome!!! Let me know how it does.

Chris makes some awesome stuff

Gotcha, which then begs the question what is done to it? Cool prototye stuff like different diameter or just tweaked, similar to what a good prop uy could do?the prop belongs to Mercury Racing. They let me play with it.

Just tweaked with extra venting. It is a quick wheel. RR

Cool, and yes the Furys in general, at least for me, have been quick props. I havent found anything that is faster on my boat yet

thanks for the kind words Roger. i look forward to your feedback after you run it.
It was a pleasure doing business with you brother. RR

Cool deal. I just placed my order with Chris moments ago. Sweet! Looking forward to your report.
Very nice piece Ghost..

What are the overall benefits you guys are seeing or expect to see with the foils??
Better hole shot, ability to run a larger wheel with still excellent hole shot, ability to stay on top at slower speeds and most importantly to me is protection from a slung blade. They look cool as heck also. RR

Got mine today. Will install tomorrow.

If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles
the only thing you guys have to watch out for is this voids your mercury warranty on your lower unit talked to a mercury dealer about it but if your motors out of warranty go for it
i dont know how a foil could affect warranty if your powerhead blows up or even if lower unit locks up but i dont know how mercury deals with their claims. im assuming that if they really didnt want to pay up, they could give you just about any reason.
I also received my foil from Chris today. He has been a busy guy. I went with the brushed stainless steel and then had it powdercoated black to match my motor. Really pleased with how it turned out. Have not had time to mount it yet but held in place for the picture. Can't wait to try it out but will have to wait a month or so.
