Some rigs are underpowered, though maxed out for HP based on coast guard rating, so no inroads available there. Steve is correct about propping etc. However, when you are underpowered, and just want to maximize hole shot and mid range stability, while not losing all of your top end, stabilizers can and do help in some situations. One thing is to be sure to have the motor rigged in the proper bolt holes on the boat as well. I moved mine up just a tad, so that at top end, the Cobra Edge is either completely out of or just skims the water and isn't creating much if any drag, but still assisting if an artificial lift is needed.
