HI Again,

Another option before a hydrofoil would be to have some transom wedges installed behind the motor. They can be placed in such a way to allow the motor to have more negative trim (tilted in at the bottom more) which should allow the rear of the boat to come up faster.

My hole shot was similar to yours (bow very high and a little sluggish) but going up with the motor took care of that for my rig.

No matter what you do with set-up changes, there will always be a compromise somewhere beit speed, handling, or holeshot. The key is to find that "happy medium" which takes time and energy...and we all know that sometimes those are at a premium.

If you like to tinker, playing with setups are fun. If you don't, it can be a real pain..

Keep going on it...you'll get there..

Steve

By the way...it sounded like things did somewhat well with the motor change...
