Hello guys that's me again
I would like to setup an hydrofoil on my outboard but i don't where to buy or what brand. I have a mercury 30 hp 2 strokes. I want to setup one because the front of the boat take always time to be flat i have to put the gas and then the boat get stable but when i start to put the gas the nose always stay up and that's annoying. I hear that will help to stabilise the boat.
And my other question is what type of light do you use inside your boat when you go fishing at night. I have a led bar to see whats coming from the front but nothing on the inside to see what i'm doing, only my headlight.
Thanks in advance.

I have been looking at these

There’s a face book group and everyone seems to rave about them, and he has a money back guarantee.
But would love others thoughts on this.

Re: boat and outboard setup
There are standard 'off the shelf' plastic ones around the shops for your size motor and cheap enough to chuck away if you don't like them or decide you want to spend more on a factory tin model.
I don't know of too many tin boats that won't stand up when going slow. A hydrofoil will help and are most appreciated when you back off the throttle and they stay on the plane for longer at slower speeds.

Might just be a matter of trim (if you have trim/tilt). Tackleworld have a great LED light on a suction cap, 10 bucks and runs on 3 AAAs

Re: boat and outboard setup
I had a fast tail foil on a 40 suzuki.
only used it when solo only four bolt to put on take off.
it worked quite well bolts under cav plate ...most bolt on top.
In QLD i think.......worth a thought.
