This process reduces the drag.

Putting lifting strakes on a pontoon. It can generate up to 2500 pounds of lift at 25 miles an hour with the hydrofoils used in the Hydrofin System. Basically when you push the throttle all the way forward the engine should come to the top of its RPM range. After discussions with motor dealer and talking with Bentley reps the prop I have on it now is a 157515 pitch SS prop.
