I'm reading the ad for Cabela's HydroTroll and it states...

"Water flows over the Hydro Troll just like air flows over an airplane's wing causing lift. That lift rasies the entire boat, which keeps the bow from rising and enhances boat control"

Hahahahaha.... I used to take flying lessons in Cessna's 150's and 172's. I doubt those airplanes weighed as much as my Gambler w/ 3.0L. Soooo using.... you know... just basic engineering principals I figure that Hydro Troll would have to extend...... about 15 feet(minimum) on either side of the gambler and be somewhere in the 4-5 foot range wide. Hey! I think I'm on to something here.

I figure they're ripe for a lawsuit 'cause they didn't mention nothing about stall speeds, water shear, or icing that could lead to loss of boat altitude.
