Thanks for the advice. I put the hydrafoil on and was amazed at the difference. My Zodiac planed out
faster and stayed on plane with alot less throttle.
I know what you mean about slapping the waves when in the boat alone. Not a fun ride! I never did get into any real big waves with the boat but did have some choppy trips. I may be a little warped, but I want to get out into some big waves just to see how she handles. My $400 ebay purchase has been the most fun I've had on the water in yrs. Ended up selling my money pit speedboat!
