Are the lifters for inflatable boats worth the money or doesnt really make a difference? It suppose to radically improve the performance of inflatable sportboats, increasing speed and acceleration 25% to 45% and planing weight capacity up to 30%, while decreasing fuel consumption by over 25%.

Is it worth getting one? :)

Like all wonder drugs it looks fantastic! theoretically you gets the the speed etc of a bigger boat! nice if for some reason you can't have a bigger boat but me, I'd like to see one in use before believing those claims - it probably does work but nearer 10% maximum - still the guy's got to sell the damn things ain't he!

Interesting product and interesting claims.

I wonder if something like this would help a hovercraft get up to "hump speed" quicker (from displacement mode to air cushion mode) over water.

I have a 9.9 Evinrude on my inflatable 8.5 Orca and it really is annoying when everytime you eccelarete the nose gets up on the air... I wonder if this would help?

Could do, so would a big fat beer swillin' guy sat in the front (trouble is you'd never accelerate very much but you can't have everything!)

Go for it we're all interested, hope it works out (then you can still keep the beer swiller or even BE the beer swiller - I can do that :p
