The correct way is balance, which is the weight distribution in the boat as well as its design, gas tanks, the position of the console, etc. etc. When you see a boat with trim tabs stabilizer... you should doubt its performance.The same thing happens in an airplane, its weight distribution is important, you will not see additional wings attached to compensate the imbalance.

Your boat reminds me of the 1965 14ft Starcraft Runabout my brother and I restored. It came with a 25. It was not enough. The boat show had lots of great deals. We put a 40hp and it was a great kneeboard and tubing boat for 4 people. I now have a 73' 16ft with a 125hp. No reason to spend 50k on a new boat. I like the colors on yours. Very classic.

I’m running one on my 50hp on my 16 Klamath. Made a huge difference. For one your bolts are in upside down. I also trimmed mine after to reduce drag even more. Secondly, it would appear you have zero clue what trim is. With a fin your trim position is going to be different. In my boat it’s way more stable and corners better because it’s a hard v-nose light weight aluminum boat. Secondly with 5 people and gear I’m up out of the water and on step in 2 seconds. Lastly my top speed was about 24 without it and I’ve been as high as 32 with the fin. Again, learn what trim is and how to use it. I’d wager a guess you also have you’re outboard mounted to low or even too high maybe. It’s important that where the fin mounts to is in line with the bottom of your boat or slightly above. An by slightly I mean less than 1/8 inch. An yes, running a speed prop is going to change a lot as well.

A hydrofoil produces lift much like a aerofoil of an aircraft wing. Don't expect this plastic accessory to hydrofoil because it won't. For one, the shape doesn't resemble what is known of hydrofoil design. Any advantage that may be gained in boat performance may be with motor trim and / or to assist with anti-cavitation. A very good hydrofoil tried and proven for fifty years is the original Stingray Hydrofoil, still made in the USA. Go to the internet and check the difference in design. I have tried both products, on my 18' stern drive one works and the other is a piece of expensive plastic and much time wasted. Happy boating

You should look into a Hydro-Shield. Its a hydrofoil that bolts to your skeg and runs underneath the prop. Now its always in the water and always helpful, unlike the whale tail type you just tested. Disclaimer, i haven’t actually used/tested one myself but the interwebs has received them kindly.

Definitely deserves more power. Something in the 40-60hp range, but an oldschool motor that's lightweight. Ideally you should be able to cruise comfortably on plane at 3000rpm, with 4000 being your normal "get around" speed and 5000 being your high-speed cruise with WOT, of course, being WOT. Also, what exactly is considered a "small craft" when they give small craft advisories?
