Default One More Time, Opinions on Hydrofoils/planer boards

i know i've asked already, but Lets do one more for finality purposes. What is everyone's opinions on hydrofoils? My problem is this. I have a small 18.5 foot center console v-hull. She holds 62 gallons gas, and has a 175 on the back. She stern heavy fosho, and i think, she takes a while to get on plane. In doing so, she has serious bow lift. Trimming too early won't do nothing, making S turns while from a hole shot helps getting the nose down to trim out, but do yall think hydrofoils will help get me on plane quicker? i don't mind losing top end, im never WOT anyways, just trying be as economical as possible. thanks

need some personal experiences before i plop down the 150-250 . yows

the batteries are also located in the bilge, when i have time, im plannning to reroute to inside the console, still i don't think just this will solve it..

if you agree, what brands?
