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?
What year, make, and model boat ???

Same for motor and what pitch prop and material...

My first bay boat was a 18' Pro Craft w/a 90 Mariner and it was a great performer...

Something is out of whack here...

Thanks,
Hydro
