    Allison foil

    Where can I find an Allison foil to fit my Evinrude v6 lower unit?

    Best regards

    Sorry, I did not notice Sweden. A Bob's True Tracker worked well for me before I bought an Allison. Since I have an Allison I am of course all in, pass the kool aid.

    Previous years I have been running a Permatrim foil, a huge fin that is great for take off, however since it breaks the rooster, it raises my stern even more at wot, with the effect that it lowers the my already heavy bow...

    Neither foil cost me any speed, but I run the engine high. Would your foil be in the water at speed?

    An update following a long absense from this site…
    I built myself a new fin, design based on inputs from both the ally style and the permatrim style fins.
    Stainless…
    Works really good, jumps on plane and does not obstruct the spray at high speed.

    What are the measurements Paul? I wouldnt mind making one for a big lower and a small lower. What are the key features? I have a cheap one on the motor I just built, but its a generic thing, and would love to make one that has even better performance.........
