Guys, I have a Tahoe with an eagle on it, it works great at speed, the key is to mount it level with the bottom of the boat, and leave the mount loose enough so that if you hit something it will flip up and not break off. I have hit it a few times and just flip it down and it works again. And I would also say that mine makes a rooster tail. We mounted mine about 8 inches from the outer edge of the boat on the outer step.
