Default Bravo 1 Nose Cones??

Are the newer Bravo 1 lowers any more efficient than the old ones?

Not sure if nose cones are still being installed or not.

I thought it used to be if your boat ran faster than 80mph you would install them.

I was told recently you don't really need them unless you are running close to 100mph.

I have installed a Hydro-Motive on my B1 and noticed improved stability over 80.
