The VARA® Foil Pontoon Hydrofoil has changed our entire boating experience. A few trips with it now and seeing major improvements. Went from 21mph max to 30 mph with loaded boat after VARA® Foil install. Unsure of top speed with just wife and I as she asked me to back off when we accelerated past 34mph. I believe to achieve max speed with just two people I will need a different prop but we usually are loaded down. I have 500rpm to reach max with loaded boat. I will update when I get to experiment. I could get almost 35 with right prop configuration based on current performance. I have a real time fuel usage Merc app. I'm using 2.5 gph less at WOT while doing 9 mph faster. If I cruise at 24 mph, still faster than previous top speed I go from 9 to 5.7gph, serious savings when making long runs up river. Also notice insane improvement on ride quality in rough water that's hard to explain without experiencing. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to improve their pontoon experience.

My 2021 Viaggio 18’ Pontoon with a 90HP Yamaha lacked speed. I researched speed solutions and found that most pontooners just accept "slow" as normal operation for pontoons. I came across an affordable option for my pontoon other than repowering or adding 3rd toon, a Hydrofoil! I researched videos where Mike Gable traveled the Atlantic to Bahamas on a 20’ pontoon w/75hp from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I called Mike, and I could tell he was confident with his data and his VARA®Foil speed guarantee. We installed the VARA®Foil followed by a sea trial at a location where flat water, and big chop of Tampa Bay were available for testing just minutes from each-other. My speed was already exceeded my original max 18 Mph and I was now cruising at 25 Mph! Max throttle produces 34Mph. I looked over the starboard side of my boat to see the bow wave starting below my helm indicating much more lift. I drove into the southerly swells. 100% honest, I was ready for the worst-case normal scenario of taking water over the bow, yet not a single drop of water while VARA® Foiling. The VARA® Foil has taken my boating ride to a new level and even though I had no experience with how to operate the boat with the foil installed, I quickly learned how to use it. Less than a month now, and I am able to fine-tune the performance of my boat by replacing the propeller and adjusting my VARA® Foil at different angles. I am able to try different locations on my own with a a 4 bolt change at the sandbar. I am cruising at 25mph at 4000 RPMs while now topping out at 36Mph with a new prop. The difference between how my boat was before and is now Is night and day, I recommend you must try yourself. This product exceeded my every expectation. Thank you, Mike, Just like you said, my wife and I will never go back to a “normal” pontoon boat ride…. This is awesome and makes me want a jackplate now.

After speaking with a pontoon friend about the benefits of his VARA® Foil, I ordered mine. My underpowered boat would max @ 19mph. We installed the unit ourselves on vertical wall toons.We reversed the angles to accommodate mounting, but after install we were up and running. Alone, I was able to hit 30mph pegging the rev limiter. It felt like a gliding, airborne, quiet ride. I was "walking the dog" with back of toons, motor and hydrofoil in the water. It was a wild feeling with complete control handling chop easier, and crossing power boat waves with a much higher drier ride. It made me desire more speed, so now I bought a 115hp and will write another testimonial after the testing and break-in period. Thanks Mike Cool Stuff

After attending a boat show recently, I met Mike/Tracy with PHA, Inc. They had a boat on its side showing this new VARA® Foil hydrofoil technology. I was immediately sold, after all it was much cheaper than an engine upgrade, we wanted but it also offered a better ride with better fuel economy. PHA installed the new VARA® Foil pontoon hydrofoil, put the boat in the water and we went out. It was unbelievable especially after we changed from an old bent/beat-up prop. We gained 11 mph and the ride was like floating on air. The helm had next to no load and the engine was turning less RPM’s and happy. I will never return to a Pontoon Boat again.

I have been in the marine business for 32 years. My 20' pontoon maxed out at 26.5 mph with a newly broken in Suzuki 140 Hp outboard. Still wanting more speed, I researched online hydrofoils a friend told me about. After reviewing ALL online options, I made a choice of the VARA® Foil system based on adjustability, strong beachable strut design, and their 25% speed guarantee. I found a less expensive version of hydrofoil or "fins" for pontoons, however this system was permanently glued to the hulls with huge bulky plates, which sealed my final decision. After an easy in water 2.5hr install at a sandbar with no prop change, we banged the rev limiter at 37.2 mph. A new 4 blade prop change will easily take us to 40+ mph. Thanks to PHA, Inc. Mike and Tracy went out of their way to help during the entire process. I recommend this system to anyone wanting pontoon speed,

We purchased this green technology to help our pontoon speed and fuel burn however wanted to cruise a faster pace without a new engine price while saving wear and tear on our existing engine. My wife and I had no idea that we would be so impressed with how the seemingly new boat “Floated” on the VARA® Foil as the ride became extremely quiet. My wife now calls it a “Magic Carpet Ride”

Involved with marine industry, I really thought this VARA® Foil kit made sense for our 90hp pontoon. I am impressed with how quickly the kit assembled and the strength of the V’d struts when installed. I enjoy this new boat ride that is quiet and stable and dry going thru waves. We went from 21 to 28mph with the VARA® Foil install. We then switched to stainless prop with 2 degrees more pitch and gained additional 3 mph.

We put the VARA® Foil system on our electric tritoon. We initially missed the front to back center of gravity placement then dialed it in on 2nd run after a 15 min adjustment at the beach. The boat went from normal 31 mph ride to VARA® Foiling at 40 mph. It’s amazing how the VARA® Plate allows me to trim the pitch of the boat down or up as needed on the fly with a bump of the trim/tilt switch.

My wife and I purchased a VARA® Foil for our boat and installation took approximately 2 hrs. in the water, with PHA’s help. Both she and I were amazed on how this easy to install kit took our boat from 25mph to 35 mph max with the VARA® Foil installed. The Ferrari ride was much quieter, and rode thru the chop/waves easily. Extremely dry ride now and we think you should check this pontoon accessory out.

I purchased and installed a VARA® Plate on my 15’ fiberglass dinghy we use off of our big boat while in the islands. There’s normally big chop that is sometimes difficult to handle. I was immediately impressed with how we obtained more speed, control, and top end speed. Not only were we able to control the bow attitude up and down but we were able to cut the chop/waves better once we learned how to use the VARA® Plate with just a bump of the trim/tilt switch, Thanks Mike.
