Don't need hydra foils on the cavitation plate with a working trim adjustment. It severely weakens the cavitation plate.
We had one tow boat was a 24 footer with cuddy cabin (Privateer) running off a single 200hp Yamaha O/B . Did speeds in the mid to high 20's.
With a kicker, there's a lot of drag with the other O/B down. Also you must consider steering with the kicker running boat. I'd jgo with gas over electric for that size boat and simplicity.
With towing insurance all is not lost. Just inconvenienced.

I know it sounds silly but holeshots and top speed are not a concern. I will rarely have more than 5 in the boat also, usually 2.
Biggest concern is getting up on plane but from what I have read the right prop and hydrafoils will eliminate that concern.
As much as I would love to hit blue water I do not see that with this boat and hopefully my job takes me to South Carolina coast in 2 years.
Keep the opinions coming please. And I am going with Suzuki
