 Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? I'm wondering if the hydrofoil helps on the mb motors. I have a 35 on 16x48 boat and I have seen some of the newer boats with the hydrofoil. Is this something that helps in mud, or just in open water. If anyone can fill me in it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? I understand how it works on a boat in open water. I just was worried about the affects in thick mud, and debris. I looked on MB's web site and didn't see anything offered for the 35. Is this something that can be purchased, or just custom built?

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? You can buy them from mud buddy. Just gotta call and ask.... That is if you can get ahold of them.

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? I'm sure I'm going to feel stupid but what the heck are y'all talking about? My brain isn't registering today

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? I'm pretty sure he's talking about the cavitation plate above the prop.

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? Yes I'm talking about the cavitation plate. When your running yours does it ever cause problems Keystone?

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? Never heard it called a hydrofoil. Mine doesn't have it and runs fine. I think they were designed to help funnel mud to your prop and not blow out

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? Yeah I guess it's called a cavatition plate. I just can't decide if its actually needed or not. There seems to be mixed reviews on weather they help or hurt in the mud. MB said that they help in thick mud and told me that they sell for $200 with shipping to fit a 27" shaft. Does anyone run a SD with and without a cavatation plate?

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? Honestly I'd use the money for mods. We had a negative tide this past weekend in SC and I had no problem running in it. Even pulled some boats out.

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? Not the one MB designed for the Hypers. It's to assist in mud.

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? I made my own brace for my mini MB without cavitation plate. I did not notice any advatage of the cavitation plate in mud. I did notice the prop cleans out better in veggies and lillies without it.

Re: Mud Buddy Hydrofoil needed? Thanks guys. I'll move forward with blind construction and then take it loaded to the mud.
