Speed cones

[GAVMAC321]

I've spotted a retubed zodiac for sale in my price range. It's been retubed with hypalon. My only concern is that the company that did the retube don't seem to have made the speed cones the same.

Will it cause any issues ???

Probably the angle of view, plus the outboard isn't straight so it makes it look as though the starboard is longer then the port.

They look pretty normal to me, there are many different takes on rear tube cones but none should make much difference to planeing on a rib, in general they are clear of the water at speed. If its a shallow boat that planes on its tubes then its still usually the bottom of the tube they ride on & not the pointy bits. A little difference shouldn't be a problem. A recent hypalon retube is usualy a good bonus

Cheers. I think i just needed a bit of reassurance as I'm only familiar with Valiant ribs. Aye , the retube is a big bonus 👍👍
