Interesting whale tail. I wonder if it really works since the lower unit does not sit much lower than the hull of the boat.

I sit corrected.

I wonder how well that works. The design doesnt look to me like it actually creates lift.

They create great lift......if the motor was mounted correctly on the transom, they will allow you to get on plane a little faster especially with a lighter hull and they will help you stay up on plane at slower speed from the hulls I have been in that have them on their motors. It's really not dramatic enough to see from the passengers point of view but as the boat operator you tell a real difference. At $100 bucks it's a nice option to have, if you buy a rig from Troutt&Sons in St.James they put one on just for the safety aspect.
