Pull the trigger. It's only money.

I also gain 4-5 on my '99 35 Fountain - after doing a little research as to why 01 & up 35's seemed to be running same speed as me with less power. Higher X-Dim. on the newer models - Ez bolt on reliable power

My boat (2000 baja 272 w/blown 540) runs 91.5 w/32 pitch at 5800 rpm's w/nose cone and ran 87.1 at hot boat weekend with same exact set-up except with my spare drive without a nosecone so its worth 4.4 mph on my boat,same with the 30 pitch,88-89 mph at 5900 w/nose cone and around 84 without it. The boat rpm's exactly the same with or without,it just drags in the water more without the nose cone. I need to try a imco shortie next year,Smitty

I know they are not cheap. But I can tell you first hand that I should of bought them a long time ago.
They are unbelievable!!! :shocked:
Look at it this way,it is only about $1400 per mph if you get 5mph out of them. :winker:

You got 18mph. What's that ? $77.77 per mph ?

That was with high boost so we will stick with the 5mph gig which put me at an easy 97mph with 4lbs of boost.

Even at the 113mph your math for per mph cost is a little off buddy. :laugher:

Well, my drives currently do not have the -2" shorties, and don't have any nosecones either , so hopefully I will benefit from both.

I saw you launching saturday,my boat was sitting in the basin at bowers and I walked down to meet up with Kaama. My plug for my O2 sensor had fell out of exhaust manifold and I was thinking from the noise that something had broken in the valvetrain (it sounded more like a mettalic noise than a exhaust leak). Anyways,I loved the colors of your boat and tow rig but never saw you when we were on the water. Did you get a spot early and stay at party saturday,Smitty

dominator scott · Oct 13, 2005

We hit the party around 1:00pm. If you look in front of the Kaama at the white boat with the red stripe that is parked with the bow pointed towards the right hand shore,we were parked on the other side of him.

HnB ,
Mine was welded on , then Marine Texed and no probs in three years

Be cautious about welding nose cones in place. The gearcase can be easily distorted by the heat.

Back to what I said earlier. " They can help from the mid 80's and up." If you don't expect to be running in that range; Save your money! --- Jer
