Nope. I suppose less lower motor in the water biting in?
With a hydrofoil my boat has always been trim "sensitive". There is the spot and that is it. Different prop sizes and material types with and without a hydrofoil, more weight or not in the boat each has it's own thing. Something to feel and sort out. Some cases the hydrofoil adds to the overall performance and is worth it and other cases it takes away and isn't.
Regardless if one gains advantages (quicker to get up on plane) or not some characteristics are always present on my boat. Not as smooth of a ride in waves and turning is extra work/not as "fun". Normal big turns is nothing running down the lake. Bigger turns at full speed is when I have to start really trimming down to avoid the motor blowing out and revving.
