Product Details
StarFire Gray Hydrofoil (STARFIRE-3) by StingRay Hydrofoils®. StingRay's StarFire was the hydrofoil model that pioneered the use of set screws to accomplish StingRay's patented "NO-Drill" installation method. Additionally, it was the world's first hydrofoil model to feature "NO-Drill / Optional-Drill" installation. The StingRay StarFire was intentionally engineered to maximize top-end speed by inverting its trailing edge to reduce drag and extending its wing tips to enhance stabilization while on plane. Some competitor hydrofoil models actually feature the reverse design (a bowed-out trailing edge coupled with shortened wing tips) which reduce stabilization and increase drag, lowering top-end speed. Additionally, the StarFire's in-mold graphics feature a special StarFire sparkle that truly pops in the sunlight! With a StingRay StarFire installed, boaters will experience increased performance, monetary savings, and most importantly: a safer ride!

NO-Drill Installation Hydrofoils were pioneered and patented by us! The goal was to create hydrofoils that could be installed without holes being drilled into the engine. The NO-Drill Installation method differs depending on which StingRay Hydrofoil model you choose, but each method requires zero drilling and allows for installation in under 10 minutes! For the best, most robust installation, StingRay recommend utilizing the optional-drill installation that has been enabled for each of these NO-Drill Hydrofoils. The optional-drill method requires half as many drilled holes as competition (2) and provides the best security for your hydrofoil!
- Utilizes 2 set screws that pinch the anti-cavitation plate from each side
- Requires 0 drilled holes
- Designed for top-end speed and performance upgrades for all boats
- Lift = 7
- Speed = 8
- Stabilization = 6

Marine Dynamics, Inc., was founded in 1987, and they started with the original black StingRay Hydrofoil® Stabilizer - known currently as "Classic" model. From there they expanded into both gray and white hydrofoil models, satisfying the desire for customers with gray and white engines to have a hydrofoil that matched accordingly. Fast-forward approx. 30 years, and they are pioneered and patented "NO-Drill Installation" Technology into multiple hydrofoil models to eliminate the need for any holes to be drilled into the engine during installation. This revolutionized the hydrofoil industry and has solidified pole position of global market share leader. In 2016, they are launched a new line of high-performance foils called, "HyperFoils." A HyperFoil is characterized by its trademarked "HyperSpeed Red" material and its ability to let pro bass fishermen achieve perfect holeshots without sacrificing top-end speed. The HyperFoil 500 is the first of its kind and can be purchased today! In 2018, the Classic Series got a new hydrofoil model added to the upper-end called "Classic PRO." The new addition provides even more lift than the Classic Senior and features upgraded styling and lower drag which allows for faster on-water speeds!
