A hydrofoil system for lifting a boat out of water an amount sufficient to
reduce drag while still allowing the boat to be powered by a conventional
inboard-outboard drive. The hydrofoil system includes a front hydrofoil
unit, a center hydrofoil unit, and a pair of rear hydrofoil units. The
front hydrofoil unit includes a hydrofoil portion that dependingly mounts
to a mounting portion thereof that depends from the bottom of the hull at
the bow thereof. The center hydrofoil unit includes a hydrofoil that
dependingly extends equidistantly outwardly from a pair of stanchions
thereof that depend from the bottom of the hull at the substantial center
thereof. Each rear hydrofoil unit includes a hydrofoil that dependingly
extends equidistantly outwardly from a pair of stanchions thereof that
depend from port and starboard trim tab units of the hull, respectively.
