thanks for the imput! the boat would do 96mph with the stock
502/whipple setup, so I'm sure I'll get past the 100mph mark
when I finish the new engine, just want to get as much as
possible out of it, just like everyone else here!

When I had a 468 with about 500 HP in my Baja Hammer, I was running about 78. I put on an Eddie Marine nose cone and lost 4 MPH. Knocked it back off and the speed came right back. It looked cool when sitting on the trailer, but that was the only benefit it offered.

+2 on the Hydromotive. I've been running up to 90 and the nose cone definitely helped the handling. Didn't lose or gain on speed but the handling was worth it. You have to spend some time feathering it in so it's centered and it's blended in perfectly, any variance in the radius from the tip to the side will cause turbulence and slow you down. I created cardboard templates to measure to curvature so it would be even and accurate.

Ran one of these to almost 150, worked fine, Imco lower had less cavitation pulling out. https://www.cpperformance.com/p-1041...r-pick-up.aspx
