nose cone project complete
 

Finished my nose cone project turned out great and i also cut to groves in each one where the original low water groves were as well as the 1/2" tube that comes with them. Had some oso members wanted to see results so here they are and ill post my results when i get in the water.

Did you modify bravo 1 lowers or are these new?

Did you cut the case down?

looks great !!! please post #'s after you run....getting ready to do mine very soon...who's did you use ?

My old body man worked for me for years, Did a great job.

My stock lowers we ground the leading edge nose cone's down to fit on perfect, cut 2 groves in each one along with the 1/2' tube then epoxy, All metal Finish and ppg paint.

Curious to know what your before speed and hp numbers were compared to new...

They look great! Were these lwp Bravos originally?

looks good,let us know any difference you notice.

Yes please follow up with performance numbers. Too many of these threads drift off with no updates.

Yes i will post before and after numbers by memorioal weekend.

NICE....I'd do that just for the looks of it!

heard of them slowing the boat down....seems you need to run 80+ to see any gain...and the newer drives see less improvement than the older ones....just what I have heard...

I know this is an old thread, but you promised to post results with the nose cones! :boat:

Yea.

Ha- once again a potential great thread and it just died with no updates. If I had to guess, he lost speed, IMO if he saw an improvement he would have posted the results. Hopefully he will chime in and let us know what happened.

slow agonizing death !!!!

He has been up here on 3 / 3 / 16 at 5: 30 pm.

Think he would say bo at the very least

What year can we expect to see numbers?

I had no intention of a firing squad for the OP... :waffen093:

I say firing squad for all those posters who don't follow up!

WTB urgently, xxxx boat willing to travel!
5 pages, great responses, lots of boats, links/contact details and the op disappears!

Which boat? xxxx or yyyy?
Links to adds, references from owners, magazine reviews, pages of information and the op disappears!

Bought a new to me xxxx, how do I post pictures?
Pay for a membership, use photobucket and a link, cut and paste or something and the op disappears!

What flooring is best for my xxxx?
2 pages of comments, 5 good alternatives all with links to websites and the op disappears!

How to replace a thingummyjig on my xxxx.
Answers from members who have done it before, clear instructions, photos and the op disappears!

Etc.
Etc.
Etc.


Line them all up against the wall, give them a laptop and tell them they've got 15 minutes to respond to their own thread or they will be shot!

Boring day here today, sorry for the rant, got it out of my system now.

EDIT: As BUP (a very helpful member) suggested below, don't want you to get p'd off and run elsewhere but we are interested in the outcome, could be good lessons in it for all of us.

funny but we are probably running him off now. Will add - alot people who post problems with their boats / engines / drives that receive replies from others with help plus spend a bunch of time including myself to help - I hate when the OP never comes back to say what fixed his problems or if even infact that it was fixed 100 %. I really hate that part of it. I like to know when I am right and when I am wrong and completely wrong with what I thought the fix was. Just saying

Ha- I PM'd him and he responded today. So I'm going to repost his response to me:

"Turned out well picked up a couple mph other than that no difference but im told the only time you will pick up mph is if your already doing at least 80 or more not sure if that is true or not."
