    also no cone fitted to that Honda , just a bog standard gearcase riding on the water with ease.
    I suppose once its up and riding high, the cone dont do anything anyway.
    we dont see many boats running nose cones over here at all.

    would love to get my little 70 up that high and see what happens, probably turn the boat over with powerhead so high up ha ha

    What you see of it might be "bog standard" but what's hidden below is not. I've been told...

    Here is one of my Argo 17.

    Notice the huge waterspray from transom mounted pickup. I am going to reshape the L/u
    nose and mount pickup there.

    Amazing videos, all of them... having these lightweight, waterproof cameras/cases is just awesome for stuff like this!

    Here is one from my boat a bunch of years ago. I didn't plan on the camera moving down but it turned out for a better view of the gearcase/prop.

    Here's one I made last weekend. Had engine trouble, low on power, but still a nice video. Especially the last two minutes where it gets more rough.
    I have to raise the jackplate to full up to get to the height I need to be, it's hard on the jackplate.

    Not my video but here is a Hydrostream Vulture. You can see when the hull breaks the dreaded vacuum that the Vultures are plagued with.

    This Liberator vid is interesting too. It really shows how much of the lower unit is out of the water.
