Yes, those Doelfin plastic aerlion type of wings made a huge differance. After drilling the holes through the lower end of the outboard and bolting together those stainless screws & stop-nuts, my 15 year old 9.9hp kicker has enough lift to put a 3000lb boat up on plane, all by itself. You kow, it works so well that I want to put the kicker on the back of my pickup truck for that toughy NH winter driving about in the deep snow that will soon be here. And why not? I wonder what it would do on the back of a mountain bike or even on those new fangled parabolic shaped skis or, like wow, how about on a snow board or on a sailboard?? Ahem?
