I purchased a Stingray Starfire hydrofoil and assembled it using the drill less method with more than the required experience to assemble the unit. The first hydrofoil spun an insert without the mounting bolt seating properly, so the outlet that sold me the unit gave me another one. Not the manufacturer. The second unit disappeared on its maiden voyage in flat seas, with no winds, debris in the water, or anything that should have caused it to become loose or detach. Stingray says I lost the hydrofoil and there warranty does not cover loss of their product. DO NOT purchase a Stingray Hydrofoil. They offered me 50% off a new item if I ordered through them and paid their shipping rate of $130 !!! Stingray's warranty is rubbish. Their product is rubbish. And, the way they conduct business is rubbish. I've read repeated complaints regarding the hydrofoil disappearing. DO NOT support this company or trust their warranty. You will not receive any customer satisfaction.
Thank you Wally. Certainly won't be buying one of them in a hurry.

They promised me some replacement parts that never arrived. Lucky for me the dealer refunded my funds and I now run trim tabs instead.
