Larry, I see what you mean, I had the exact same problem the last time I changed props and had to move the motor up again. I had to cut a new hole farther away from the motor to take the load off the cable, and I had to move the cable up 2" higher on the side. Larry I also have an idea for anot...

Larry, I was just going through some of your old posts and happened to notice that you lost 300 RPM when you installed the new hydrafoil. 95% of the time that means that you need to move the motor up one more hole to get your RPM and speed back up where it was. Hydrafoils allow you to move the motor...

Thank you Larry and Tom, I stop by regularly just to see what is happening but I just don't say anything. Tom I hope everything is going well with carondelet, and Larry I was wondering if you are still on the way to getting your Surveyors license. I have been doing a lot of reading on fluid dynamics...

Larry, you might be interested in getting one of these, as it will let you know instant fuel use at all times as well as total fuel used at all times.

Steve, a hydrafoil is the worst option there is for helping the stern to stay up and the bow down. The reason is even with smaller slower boats it ats like a seesaw as it is in the enter of the boat in faster installations and boats with more deadrise it an enhane any possible hine walking from fast...

Doug, if you will buy a Solas Amita 4 blade stern lifting prop for your boat all of your problems will go away. You need more stern lift to stop the bow rise and the propoising and that prop will do it. If you will go to Iboats and buy it you will see that it will ost you less than $ 60 with shippin...

I will be wathing your build Hunt, as I am still interested in the Panga 25.
