I had low water that Gary put on the boat when he got it, No sides. I had a very shallow ramp on the James and keep sucking crap and burning sea pumps. I filled the low water and drilled in the side water pickups. At WOT they get too much air and the engine heats up without the low water. Filled the sides back in and drilled out the lows again. Live and learn, I got mad and moved to the Potomac River.

just did some #s with the nose cones :loaded for summer plus the wife:the boat handled a lot better at high speeds and it was 1 mph faster than last yeat

Awesome! I think mine helped as well as you can read here.
