One mistake going too shallow and you will probably rip the foils off doing significant damage to boat. Thats my theory why they aren't more popular except in specific applications. Fuel costs are always an issue with boats and foils are well known to reduce them along with smoother ride. Most normal pleasure boats regularly go in shallow waters and pull up on the beach etc. If you look at the skegs of any of these boats you will see where they have dragged or struck something and a normal outboard doesn't stick down anywhere near as far. It's cool the the Candela can retract the foils, but again forget to do it one time and those foils looks very expensive and what do they do to the hull as they are being ripped off.
