Has anyone installed hydrofoils on there dinghy? I have a hard time keeping my bow down on my dinghy and was curious to know if the hydrofoils will help.

What size dingy and what type of foils?
What motor?
Did you have any problems with the turning radius of the outboard engine with these? It looks like they are pretty wide. I have stainless trim tabs with a pressurized cylinder and I've already replaced them 2 times in 2 years. The cylinders don't last.http://cgi.ebay.com/INFLATABLE-BOAT...1|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1307|301:1|293:1|294:50
I used these on my dinghy, they are removable and improved performance tremendously. With a 6 HP engine, I was able to get my 310 Airdeck on plane with four adults on board. It also improved the stability in roll.
I found them easy to install, easy to adjust and remove, and beats the heck out of an hydrofoil, plus you don't have to drill holes in your engine. I'd highly recommend checking them out.
Thanks. Those sure look like they would do the trick.I didn't...the engine cavitation plate was below the tabs, and even when raised, it didn't touch them. In the image below, you can see the starboard tab, and the tip of the port tab, sort of anyway.
