    Thanks, all. I think we need a bigger boat. Just kidding, but we were the smallest boat out there yesterday. We both plus dog followed the channel markers out west for a mile and came back in. It handled wakes from large boats at close range moving at speed with no problems.

    Thanks. It is not a self bailer, but it has an automatic rule 500gph bilge pump with a manual override switch in case the automatic float switch does not kick on.

    I am not referring to an engine mounted foil. That isn't going to happen - ever. Get over it.

    I consulted a "Famous" foil builder he told me a hull mounted foil will only produce 4 pounds of lift ...

    You have seen my secret (engine mounted) foil design you will see it in action Soon ...

    Do to your boat what ever you want. My boat is off limits to your scheme.

    Thanks, whitepointer23. Now I have to fit the oars to the boat. Got any recommendations for a good and uncomplicated method of setting them up?

    I will see you on the water, Noeettica.
