MIke Murphy who invented the "AIR CHAIR" told me, the problem with have more that one "HYDRO FOIL" is that if one foil hits something, you cn expect and MAJOR PROBLEM with anyone driving the boat....

What he was saying, say you have four foills...One foil hits a bag, and your boat goes "*** OVER TEAKETTLE"...

Ron and JerryHedlund had a video of a sile boat on "HYDRO FOILS" that went like 60 MOH..I was ready to buld an outbord for this sailboat, with an UP and down transom....then, I find out they run this in clean water, one boat at a time...

Bottom Line: This Hydro Foil idea looks "COOL" but in reality, it sucks.
