We are always excited when more pontoon owners discover what Hydrofin can do, but being featured in Lake and Company Magazine felt especially fitting. Their readers understand that time on the water is more about the boat itself. It is about family, friends, long afternoons at the sandbar, and making the most of every lake day.

Lake & Company Magazine recently featured Hydrofin in two complementary pieces: a print interview with our CEO, Lloyd R. “Skip” Sorenson, and an expanded online article exploring how the system changes the way a pontoon moves through the water. Together, these stories explain the thinking behind Hydrofin, the engineering that makes it work, and the difference boaters can feel once they experience it for themselves.

Flying In Hot: A Conversation with Skip Sorenson About the Future of Pontooning

In the print edition of Lake & Company Issue 32, Skip sits down for a practical conversation about the future of pontoon performance. The interview starts with a fair question: Can a pontoon really achieve a faster, smoother ride and better fuel economy without simply adding more horsepower?

Skip exlpains how Hydrofin approaches performance differently. Instead of asking the motor to work harder, they system creates lift beneath the boat. This helps the pontoon ride higher in the water, reduces drag, and allows the boat to move more efficiently.

The conversation also addresses the questions boaters tend to ask first: Is Hydrofin only for people chasing speed? Is installation complicated? Can an aftermarket system really make that much difference?

Skip’s answers bring the technology back to what matters on the water: smoother handling, tighter turns, better efficiency, and a boat that feels lighter under way. It is the experience he describes as a “magic carpet ride,” and it is often the moment skeptical boat owners begin to understand what makes Hydrofin different.

How is Hydrofin Changing the Future of Pontoon Performance?

Lake & Company’s online article takes a closer look at how Hydrofin works and why reducing resistance can be more effetive than adding power.

The artcile explains Hydrofin in simple terms: an underwater wing that creates lift as the boat gains speed. By helping raise the stern, the system allows the pontton to glide across the water instead of plowiing through it. That change can improve acceleration, handling, ride comfort, and fuel efficiency.

That story also makes an important point. Hydrofin is not just for boaters focused on top speed. Its benefits can be felt while cruising with the family, towing tubers, navigating rougher water, or carrying a full boat of passengers and gear.

Thank you to Lake & Company for giving Skip the opportunity to tell the Hydrofin story in a way that feels honest and useful. Pontoon owners do not need more exaggerated promises. They need to understand how the system works, the impact it can have, and the amazing feeling when you’re on your boat.

The best answser still comes from the water. Once the boat begins riding higher and moving more freely, the value of Hydrofin becomes clear.
