Brings my 24 foot Proline up on plan at 5kt.

I bought my boat new in 2008. Suzuki df140 on a 20ft Thunderjet OB/OS aluminum boat. Motor is a little lacking in power for this boat. After the first 6 months of owning the boat I bought this to try to get it to plane quicker. It was a big difference. No issues getting boat up on plane even when loaded down with ice and 4 people for tuna fishing offshore. One added benefit is the rear of the boat is less bouncy in ocean chop. It's hard to explain but its a notably smoother ride in the wind waves than it was before I put it on. I did loose 3mph on the top end as it does add more drag but I mostly ocean fish and very few days are you able to go WOT. I have been running this stabilizer since late 2008 and it is still secure although I should replace the rubber washers out of an abundance of caution. Easy no-drill installation and it has been very sturdy.

Actually works. Can tell the difference in planing out. Used the no drill option but the plate already had a hole in it so added an extra screw there to hold it in place. So far so good.

Easy to installlight weightbang for your buck!does the job

To be honest I was skeptical and the clerk at the boat dealer had nothing good to say about these fins.But, my boat planes faster at lower speed. The porpoising is reduced. No impact on top speed. Boat turns smooth.I wish I had bought this 20 years ago - a must have.Installed on SeaRay 185 with mercruzer 4.3l 190hp with Alpha drive.

Full review to come.

EASY TO INTALL...think its makes a deference in a good way.

Installed this on my 90hp Evinrude yesterday using the no-drill method. Took the boat out for a test and noticed several improvements: Better handling at low speed (less zig-zagging), gets on plane faster with less stern dig, maintains plane at lower speed. In all situations the improvement was not huge, but was noticeable. I consider it worth the money. The no-drill installation seems to be holding up, but that was only after one test ride, so time will tell. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the installation bolts are just barely long enough to reach through the foil, cavitation plate and no-drill washers. Would it have killed the manufacturer to include bolts that are a quarter to half inch longer, or maybe include 4 extra bolts that are a little longer. Also, the lock nuts are supposed to be 7/16 but I tried several 7/16 wrenches and sockets, and all were just slightly too small to fit. I ended up using a 12mm socket - wasn't perfect, but was the closest fit I could find. For $100 you would think the manufacturer would pay a little more attention to detail. However, the product seems to be working well and I would purchase it again.Update: After several more trips and tests I've found that if you trim the motor all the way down before hitting the gas then it planes almost immediately with barely any dig. You just have to remember to level the trim back up after planing, otherwise there is a lot of drag (understandably).

Easy install, seems to help get on plane faster

Worked perfectly does what it's suppose to. Had trouble getting boat on plain this solves my problem

It's ridiculous that they can't include four properly sized bolts. I have a Yamaha 115 HP so it's not like my cavitation plate is oddball sized. And the instructions are not good; thankfully, the exploded diagram tells you all you need to know for a proper install. So that's why I didn't give it five stars. Out on the water, I am pleased to report that it keeps my 18 footer almost on plane at slower (2-2500 rpm) speeds, which is great because the estuary I'm usually in is filled with sand bars and it's difficult to go more than 15 mph at low tide. Not sure if it reduces my top end, but again, I almost never go full throttle. Now, I have a good view all the time and a better ride. Well worth the price and a noticeable difference for the better.
