16’ Lund angler 50hp motor
2021 Lund angler 50hp motor. Been using for about a year. Had no complaints about the boat in the first place, just had positive experiences with this style hydrofoil in the past. I do 50/50 shallow rivers to big lakes. Thing works great. Got 2mph top end stock prop @ 6k rpm (28mph to30mph). Once you get the feel for the trim, the nose really doesn’t rise at all at take off. Very nice for shallow rivers. Planes faster and once you get on plane you can slow back down a little and remain there. I can turn sharper without cavitation (still cavitates, not as quickly). This product is boat specific. Different experience on my old 16’ bass tracker, and a 20’ pontoon. Still good results but no top end gain with tracker or pontoon. I want to add I didn’t want to drill through the node so I shaved the hydrofoils opening wider so it slipped further back. Mounting holes now miss the node. Also, if the hydrofoil is level with the cavitation plate it doesn’t work as well. Putting some nylon washers in the front of the foil to angle the rear of it down had better results. Obviously, too much angle slows the boat down. You’d think they’d mention something about angling the foil to fit your needs.

3 Time Repeat Buyer. Simple, Functional/Effective
I have owned multiple small boats, mostly small Carolina Skiffs: j16 (40hp Johnson, 50hp Evinrude), JVX16 (50hp Honda, 60hp Suzuki). On all of these boats/engines, I've ended up installing an SE-300 Sport Hydrofoil. Everything on a boat is a tradeoff, and hydrofoils are no different (weight distribution, trim/self-leveling tabs, hydrofoil, etc.). I want to sit as far rear in a boat as possible to have a smoother ride, but that usually has the effect of porpoising and slower hole-shot. I also keep these hulls in the water year-round, so I did not want anything like trim/self-leveling tabs that would be hard to maintain and paint (I have nothing against trim/self-leveling tabs, they do work really well, and I have used them on a 16 Semi-V to stop violent porpoising).My experience has been that this hydrofoil does improve my boat's performance. I'm currently running a JVX16 Carolina Skiff with a 60HP Suzuki 4-stroke. Installing the SE-300 Sport hydrofoil eliminated cavitation I was experiencing during hole-shot, improved hole-shot particularly while carrying more load, and widened the trim range of my motor while on-plane before porpoising starts.Among other things, this particular hydrofoil is aesthetically pleasing (no bright colors like some of the other brands).Because my motor is mounted on the higher bolt hole, this hydrofoil is not producing any noticeable drag (my WOT speed has not changed).

It’s worth it!!
Received on time and in great condition. Item as described, which I ordered the gray. Unboxed my item and began the installation. Installed in a matter of minutes, reason being there were already holes drilled for one. Bolts for my installation were just a bit too short. (Johnson GT150) will replace with longer cap bolts and new nylocks, fit and finish to the motor looks greatBoat installed to, 18’ Bass Boat, with Johnson GT 150, prop Raker 14 1/2 - 22 pitchPerformance: Full throttle, boat comes on plane very quickly. Once on plane began to trim the motor. Boat response better to trim changes, turning, and removed the porpoising problem that’s very uncomfortable to keep the boat on plane. Reduced throttle to see how long it took to come of plane. Boat cruises at 3000 rpm on plane with ease now. Makes looking for fishing spots and reading depth finder way more enjoyable. Other than looking at WOT, while bouncing around. Coming off plane the boat now slowly settles in the water. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this product performance and the added safety to see ahead while coming on plane. Top speed could careless about if it was lost, I have all day to get there.If you have these three issues: nose too high too long, porpoising at high speed, slow tuning responses. YOU should have already bought one. Stop questioning, buy one, and enjoy your day on the lake.
