    Default Hydrofoil help please


    I just purchased a 2012 tracker pro 165 with 40 mercury on it and I want a hydrofoil to plane faster and better at low speeds. My home lake has some shallow water I love to fish and I have to go slow to get there so if anyone can help me I really appreciate it. All the advise I've received here so far has help me a lot so thanx in advance if someone will help me

    A four blade prop will help with this also. It will also give You more bite to help with turns.CF

    This is true and make sure the boat is loaded evenly.

    x3. That Tracker you have will run 30+ mph which it sounds like you don't really need. Change the prop.
