yeh being out with the "air" in a outboard setup probably helps too I'm sure.... great information for all of us with 1717's .... thanks soooo much for sharing.... Now you just made me feel much better about a 1717 in my sprintcat project I'm starting....

You should have no problems seeing 60's with this motor in the sprintcat, the only thing is getting cooling jackets.

If that is a glass hull, I believe it was made back in Plano Texas by a company I can not remember.
They made monos, tunnels, and riggers.

Thanks! Well I hit my target today 62 with the x447/3 before it decided to turn into a submarine and went under for a good 10 secs. I moved the motor mount up about 1/2" to give me a little more adjustment and removed the carbon pushrods and installed flexible steel ones.

Another thing I did was installed a 100v 2200 micro farad cap to the swordfish esc since I have longer battery leads. Eagletree shows I'm still pulling around 178 amps and temps around the external fets read a max of 126 degrees.

Here's the eagletree data from the run today, max 178A average 94.

Ok, so everything ran very nice and cool
and by your data you had an average of 2100+ watts and a peak of 3900watts
so about 2.8hp average and 5.2+ peak hp!
sweet!
