What benefits can I expect by adding a foil? I figure bow life and less slip to start but would like real feed back not my assumptions. I run a 2.5l carb 225 on a 20xd. Also are they made specific for a 2.5l vs 3l lower?

I have a 20XD with 250XS. Your boat will stay on plane at a lower speed, mine from 32-35 mph minimum speed for plane down to 22-25 mph. You don't say what lower unit. I run a sportsmaster and getting on plane is a little faster. Might not be true on a torque master.
I'm running a 300XS/20XD makes a HUGE difference on mine. Esp with full fuel and livewells fuel. Helps keep the nose down better when your running in boat wake/waves, helps keep the nose down off the start. You can go a bit slower also without the boat wanting to start to hop.
Torque master with bobs come for a lower.

Helped my holeshot, on plane running at slower speeds, boats sits down a little slower/better coming off plane.

Much flatter, less slip on my xrs 300xs
So do I understand that a foil will help the boat fun flatter and not generate bow lift?

Only at speeds under 35-40, and it makes it come out of the hole flatter. When the boat is going faster and up on the pad, it is out of the water.Originally Posted by cn8165

How do you get in touch with CB to get a foil?
I ordered mine from Drew-Tek, seemed like the easiest option http://www.drew-tek.com/parts/product/bailey-hydrofoil/
