How well would one of these work on my boat? I have a 16' Alumacraft with a 60 Yamaha. I'm looking for something to help keep the boat out of the water a little more so I can run in a little shallower water. Would this help out?

Buy it and try it.....it helped on my old boat a lot! But on the little whaler, it made it uncontrollable! It picked the boat up so much, it would turn in a side wind.......VERY scary!!!

I'll probably end up doing that, my boat is so heavy at the back that I think it would end up picking it up just enough.

They are a waste of money bro,you either need prop work or trim tabs. Those fins only help the boat from bouncing and helps a little with control. But these problems are either a prop issue or you may need trim tabs.

Trim tabs are out of the question, too much money. What would it run me to get prop work done?

We can weld trim tabs on your boat for alot cheaper.

I already have some welded on there but would like to get a little higher if possible.

Or a hook, which is free.

From experience, they make a big difference. Old boat would porpoise without it. Little whaler is WAY out of the water with it.......Hull is only 300lb, that may make a difference, not sure |

I had a 17' bass boat with a 135 that would fly. I had to have one so when i was running top end i could control it as far as picking the boat up i didn't notice a difference. but i wasn't paying attention. I will say it made a big difference in hole shot and stability while running |

If your main problem is running in shallow water you would need a jack plate. I can get you a good deal on one if you want.
