I hope you guys don't scare thewhitemongoose away, I thoroughly enjoy reading his very informative posts.

Thewhitemongoose what can you do for my alpha drive to beef it up? Can you get it to survive behind a real (not imaginary) Whippled 525?

Yeah... and what prop will you be designing for Brett to manufacture for it?

Here's a good one.... How does a physiatrist go about treating someone suffering from grand delusions of fortune and fame, mechanical know-how, and practicing medicine? Come on Doc... Surely google md has an answer for you??

How about this? I found him : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMo_HcRBnUY

How fast is your boat? It may not help unless your boat is already over a certain speed.

You don't need them then,

I run the same speed, I had Hydromotive nose cones on mine, the epoxy was flaking off, so I decided to knock them off,
didn't loose anything on the top end and picked up about 2 mph at cruise speed

Same hull, same drive height, same props ?
Tough determination to make between brands of boat. Pretty sure a few of these 35 Lightnings benefitted from the nosecone addition to stock lowers.

My previous boat ('02 35' Lightning 575's) cracked 100mph in fresh water with hydromotive nose cones.
