I put a stainless 'Edge' on my underpowered Ranger 690 Tiller(90 HP Yamaha 4 stroke). I had put a lower pitch prop on and got out of the hole fine, but lost way too much top end. The stabilizer has taken 1-1.5 mph from my top end with my preferred prop, but I now hit plane more quickly, porpoise less, and stay on plane at slower speeds. I did alot of research before buying, and settled on the one mentioned above for my particular rig. It was between that and the nautilus trim tabs, and I decided on the fin. It hasn't been night and day, but noticably better, especially with multiple people and gear.
