Transom Tube End Cones

Transom Tube End Cones..

Any forum members ever thought of having these.

or even have some fitted.?

Are there any advantages or disadvantages in having a set of grp cones fitted.

I was thinking they may look o.k. with a hard nosed rib.

You mean having a hard stern either side of the transom instead of tubes?

Just the ends of the rear tubes

So from the transom back the tube would be solid?

If the above is right I wouldn't fancy launching it off any decent size waves, the forces on the "hard tubes" would be quite alot.

Just the last foot or so as a tube narrows at the end

Wouldn't fancy it myself, you might as well have solid tubes all the way round as by the looks of it you'll only have a little bit in the middle.

It's just the last foot that is solid.
