Re: [OMC-Boats] Stingray hydrofoil - model differences?

Hey Micah! Looking at the annual catalog pictures, there is a definite shape difference. I have an older one of the XP type shape on my boat and have had excellent results. This new hydorphillic material sounds interesting. I can't imagine what the difference in performance the different shapes would offer. Hopefully someone else will have some experience to share.

Happy Boating!

Mike in Salem, OR

Subject: [OMC-Boats] Stingray hydrofoil - model differences?

So, I'm very intrigued by the hydrofoil testimonials. I'm on West
Marine right now, looking at the choices:
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/83366/377%20710%201708/0/Hydrofoils/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710%201708&Ne=0&Ntt=Hydrofoils&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&page=CategoryDisplayLevel1&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=6&subdeptNum=240&classNum=384

Does anyone know the diff between these 2? I looked thru the entire
Stingray site and couldn't find the models referenced.
---------------
StingRay Hydrofoil, SR-XPII White 8678526 SR-XPII-2
Only $69.99 USD
StingRay Hydrofoil, SR-XRII White 8678559 SR-XRIII-2 Sale
$119.99 USD

?

Thanks,
-Micah
