            I think mainly its getting strut adjustment rite.
            Sounds like the prop is still digging in a bit. Up higher with it

            On my cat I run a much smaller 642 prop, and the clearance between the bottom of the strut, and the table top the boat is sitting on is almost 1/4 inch. You would think the prop wouldn't do anything but oh man does it
            I get 60mph and no slowing down in the corners. Full on. Took me like 4 years to get it rite.... Lol

                I agree with the "too much prop bite". At a couple of points there I could see the nose lift under acceleration. The strut should be flat with the table(parallel) as well. May need a tweak positive or negative. It can take awhile to get 'just right' as stated above.

                  can someone post up pic of COG in the GEICO or BLACKJACK29? there is about another 3/16 more before prop hits the top of tail mount. I need to see battery placement in the hull.

                      Here ya go:



                      That was to be my next question "where are your batteries located?" And are you running 2 2s packs or 4 4s packs?

                        I line up my batteries up with the engine mount, I don't go passed it. I run 6s batteries.

                              Why won't you go past the mount with your batteries? I think you need to slide them forward some.

                                when I did that with GEICO it seen to bounce, so I went lined up with mount. the more back the quicker it seems, but its easier to flip like that. ill try that with BLACKJACK. I was surprised to see your lipo location, but that's at 4s. the 6s set up is heavier, that's why I figured my location to be from motor mount go back. how does the alignment of strut and tail look?
