Nose Cone
74 Carlson:
Very nice job on that nose cone, yeah stock gear case's don't flow really good and just like Doug said a nose cone by it's looks should flow better than stock.
OleRed:
The nose cone mod made a 2 mph improvement in my speed, but thats not all, I was able to make several tight turns at 45 mph to 60 mph and it didn't blow out, I Like it !
I tried holding the camara, the wheel, the throttle and trim ... just about too much to do for this ole man, but I did get a video of sort, the video was taken into a 12 / 15 mph wind, little chop, 100 degree's ambient temp, and water temp mid 80's, 26 gallons of gas, 69.2 mph, but on the back flip, down wind the gps indicated 70.2

Thats some Nice work he's doing there, wonder what it cost ? and I wonder about the advantage of the turned down planing plate, thats a new one on me
CVX Fever:
Another 2 MPH at your speeds in a boat is huge. Time/money well spent I'd say. The job you did looks excellent BTW!
V153:
A 2 mph improvement when yer already pushin' the envelope is impressive. Nice work Red.
Ya it's interesting how sometimes a headwind don't hurt much and a tailwind don't help much. The average observer would think a boat oughta go a lot faster with a 12-15 mph tailwind. But it ain't always the case.
Yo Red. I'm not seeing what you mean by "turned down planing plate .." Please advise.
