I'm not trying to be argumentative just posting my experiences.
My current boat is a Skeeter MX 1825 DC/WT with a Yamaha F-150 and 13-1/4 dia 19 pitch Reliance prop.
Top speed so far is 48.6 mph at 5940 rpm trimmed back about 80%. and good hole shot.
Due to good past experience I added a SE sport 400 hydrofoil. Top speed, rpm and trim stayed the same. But hole shot is a little faster with less bow rise and the minimum on plane speed dropped from about 22 to about 18.
My last boat, a Ranger 618 tiller with 90 4-stroke Suzuki. I had similar results. No change in top speed, 35 mph at 6000 rpm. But a noticeably quicker hole shot with less bow rise and a lower on plane speed.
Also several friends have had similar results.
