Alpha 1 Nose Cone installation

NOSE IS OFF AND BOAT IS IN

Put the boat in it's slip yesterday. First time around some chop +/-12" with steady winds. No GPS on that run. But as for now the numbers were 4600-4800rpms and on the standard speedo 66 give or take.

Differences with and without the nose cone.

Without the nose cone:

Cons:
1. Slight loss of speed at full trim.
2. Easier blowout at the prop during high speed turns.
3. Smaller rooster tail.

Pros:
4. Quicker acceleration
5. Higher RPMS
6. Higher speed (not founded by GPS yet)

I'll post the numbers on a smooth day with no winds or chop.

The testing goes on.
