Greetings fellow officianados,
I run a 2001 savage 896DC with a 200 xr6 on it. Absolutely love the boat…
except,
helping my son fix up a 1998 champion foxfire that he just bought I found the need to take it out on the lake and run it. It has a 200 Yamaha with a whale tail on it. I did not realize how bad my hole shot was and how far I was driving blind before I got up on plane. both boats have similar size motor and about the same length.
I am strongly considering adding the whale tail and wanted to see if anyon has any new input. I am aware I may loose some top end speed and am fine with that “boats almost too fast for my skill set as it is”.
Has anyone with a similar size boat and motor made this mod and what tail would you recommend?
attached is the one I’m considering.
Thanks in advance
