I think the advertising of better gas mileage is somewhat vague in that IF you have an underpowered boat, the foil will keep you on plane better and at a lower speed, which, in effect would give you better gas mileage. Again, this is going to happen with rigs that do not have enough engine power to get the boat on plane efficiently, nor are able to hold it on plane at lower RPM levels.

with your 200hp, the best thing you can do is spend some time trying out different props and motor heights. No need for any add-ons at all...
