Talk about free publicity!
Hi Rude5150!
I could not give you a meaningful feed back because I could not tell how your boat is doing with the way it was driven ---not a criticism but there are too many other boats/ and sail boats in the pond, you could never stretch your legs, it gets frustrating for the viewers. Go to a bigger pond and peg that throttle.
My guess that your speed is in the low 40's, sorry, but initial launch always gives a somewhat faster impression and you had many launches.
I have done 53 mph, but no attempts were made by yours truly to go faster. Stock it will go mid to high 40's, unless you are a very experienced FE boater, I am not in that league and it is a satisfying feeling to know where I stand in the food chain of FE boating. lol...Too many boats, not enough time...

Blackjack hull is flat with surface. Geico is bent-up, usually needs blueprinting.Comment

Ooooo....so they form the bj hull in a different mold than the geico hull? Sounds legit. LolOriginally posted by rude5150 View Post32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

I'll give you a little info because I know a little bit about fiberglass and carbon work. If Temps are different between when the two hulls are layer up, you'll get slightly different results. If you don't wait long enough to pop it from the mold, it may not be fully cured and then may warp a little. You just lucked out and got a better hull because of variables. The only different between those two hulls is the paint scheme. The blackjack does come with an offset rudder, higher amp esc and a 1800kv motor vs the 1500kv in the geico.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

There you go.Originally posted by rude5150 View Post
It's important to use a long stretch of water and holding full throttle for a good distance to get an accurate gps reading
