May have a big problem
Got the motors swaped out today on the Laser but noticed something on the Johnson in the process. The fin under the prop that's pointed straight down is broken off. I think it's called the skeg but not sure. How bad is that, and what would I have to do to fix it? I must have broken it off the last time I had the Pro Craft on the water. Didn't even know I had broke it. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. DJ

A friend told me that I would need a Hydrofoil on my boat. He claims it will increase fuel milage. What are your thoughts on this subject?

This should answer your questions about hydrofoils, as spoken by someone who really, really knows what he's doing: 1FastLaser. If that thread doesn't clear it up, just do a search for "hydrofoil" or just "foil" and see what you come up with.
