Ok So I went all over today looking for a Hydrofoil, I wanted to find a  Sting Ray from what I have been told. But I could not find one anywhere. I did manage to find a STERN (brand) Hydrofoil, anyone used one, or have any imput good/ bad on Stern?

Define "all over".

FM = Fargo/Moorhead???


I think that I have seen the Stingray in the Bismarck Scheels store in years past.  Walmart has even had them on occassion and many boat dealerships carry hydrofoils. 

I had a Stingray on a 25 horse outboard and a 75 horse.  Both were much better setups with the stingray than without.  I now have a different hydrofoil on a 115 and other than low speed handling, I can't say I would put it on this boat again.

The Cobra edges is one of the better ones. Technically, a hydrofoil is only intended to operate at low speeds. It should give the boat stern lift and therefore force the bow down and the stern up helping to plain the vessel quicker. Once on plain and at speed the hydrofoil should be clear of the water and should have no effect on handling or speed.

Yes I am in Fargo, I checked around at Scheels, Gander, and Wholesale sports. Nobody had them, Called the boat dealers they were out too, figured it would be 2 weeks. So finally I went to Fleet Farm and found a Stern's Brand. I am just curious if anyone has used them before. I know from friends they all suggested sting rays.

And yes all I am having problems with is Planing out, that is why I am looking for thee Hydro Foi!
