Thanks Dave and w.largarde for the info and comparisons. Unfortunately, the hydrafoil will be a permanent installation on this boat. With or without the trolling motor, battery for it, one or two people, this boat will porpoise violently with any kind of prop that will give the hull a bow high attitude.

One thing I have to remember is that this is not a Sport model with the light wood console and thwart seats, my Striper has a heavy fiberglass console mounted starboard with a large 12 gallon fuel cell and a igloo cooler helm seat with chocks all on the right side of the boat, not to mention the added trolling motor and my 180lbs. self. I guess I'm just wanting to make sure that I'm not utilizing power that should be in the motor but isn't because of something not properly adjusted or timed.
