if it stuck way out, it was probably a trolling plate, it will go to a vertical position and drastically reduce idle speed. If it was a whale tail or hydrofoil, it would have been more out to the sides as well as behind the cavitation plate instead of way out back like you described. I can tell you first hand, these boats don't need any help to plane quick or hold it at super slow speeds. He might have been a striper guy.
lol,must have been cause it looked to be like some type of tail.if looking at it from behind it looked like a foil but was to wide and long.curved down on both sides.i thought trolling plate as well but it didnt look like it would go down or up.jigging for cats. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
well then, I have no idea! Should have pulled the dood over and demand an explanation (and a ride)!!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
It MIGHT have been a Bryan's plate. Which help holeshot but are mostly great and used for low speed planning.
Yes bryans plates are the one I use!!! Awesome product and a great guy to deal with
