Hiya,

The second notch from the top is a long way trimmed out already. I would suggest moving that pin to the second hole out from the bottom so the motor actually is slightly tucked under when fully down. This will give you even better hole shot, and allow you to trim to your liking without making the bow porpoise.

Knowing that position on the motor I have a sneaking suspicion it is taking away much of your trimming ability as the motor is trimmed way out already. You will find the motor will not get anywhere near as high on RPMs when you are tucked under, but as you trim out, the rpms will come up nicely, and you will find a sweet spot where the boat just floats along at decent speed.

If you would be willing to try this, I have a feeling you might find there is no need for the foil.

Steve
