    Hey Ben,

    How easy / difficult was putting the Sport Clip / SE 3000 on? IE – how long was “quick”??. I really don’t want to drill holes either, but would love a bit faster on plane time w/ my 1850 / F150. It does well with me alone, but put another person or two, and fill the livewell & baitwell (in back of boat), and it’s a different story. It gets going, but takes a while.

    A couple boats ago, I had a foil put on and really noticed a difference. Like you, I noticed signicantly shorter on-plane times, could stay on plane at lower speeds, and increased top-end, even though that flies in the face of common sense and most others reports. Thanks for the info, and looking forward to your update.

    I installed a 300 with a sport clip and developed a bad

    vibration so I removed it.

    They sent me a 200 to try but I haven’t installed it yet.

    This is on an Alumacraft Nav. 175 CS with an F150.

    I did like the fact that it would stay on plane at slower

    speeds.

    Keep us posted Ben.

    Sorry for the wait guys.

    I spent close to a full hour installing this with the sport clip by myself. I think I could do one now in less than 10 minutes. The directions for installation aren’t the greatest and you have to look at their pictures closely.

    With a little more time on the water with this setup in place, I will say that it didn’t help fix everything I hoped it would. I was on the water Saturday with a total of 4 guys in the boat. The speed was definately better than it would have been without the SE300 but I was hoping it would stop some of the porpoising I expierence when I have passengers. I still can’t trim up as much as I would like. I’m wondering if losing the sport clip and going to the direct mounting will help that?? Or would moving my motor up or down a hole help that out??

    I’m going to give this 1 more weekend of testing before I decide to drill holes in my motor. I’ll keep everyone posted with further updates.
