Depending on the boat and setup, this may help the boat reach plane sooner, stay on plane at lower speeds, improve low-speed handling, and reduce bow bouncing or porpoising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eWill this reduce my boat's top speed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eResults vary by boat, engine, propeller, loading, and installation. A hydrofoil may change handling and speed characteristics, and some setups may experience a small reduction in top speed because of added drag.
