    Only around $250.00, would probably be worth a try.

    JimmyIf "V" Bottom stepped hull use a standard Droop- should give you additional lift on transom- Typical 2-3 MPH. Note some hulls do not like this form of lift- 99% Do. If Tunnel go to the short Droop same 1" lift (will not drag)this one again wink showns 3MPH gain. Dave
