Forrest,
My donzi originally came with a hydro nosecone but it came off after several years. It was not put on straight and had auto filler bondo on it.
I replaced it with a new hydromotive cone. It also did not fit exactly so I filled and ground for maximum contact and also insuring exact straightness. I used Marine-tex as filler for fairing. Actually gained a mph with the straight installation and no problems with the filler coming off like the aut body filler.
The TRS should not need a noscone at speeds under 75. Everyone I know that tried them on boats under 75 actually lost a little speed.
