Hello Silver, looking good! Good you got the pickup that close to the tunnel it's important for optimal cooling, would be even better if they were closer to the rear edge. Here is the million $ question..... Are your drives 100% parallel to the sponsons?. If not you can run into some serious trouble and a very unstable boat. I'm just asking the question to make sure. How did you align them?

Hi Nata,

i put the water pichup the most posible to the back i also would like them more to the back but that was not posible.
see here some pictures from the drives i think they are in good position parallel with the air tunel and almost parellel with the water line.
if needed i can adjust the drives to get them parallel to the water line but i think this is not the drives setting.

Bonjour Silver here is Gilles from Brazil...I do speak french but let's speak in english as others will understand.I'm following your nice building.Just to aware you about the 180a as I'm running this same combo motor/esc in a small rigger built for saw race.It will work good with a little cooling mod(see pic) and PLEASE use large silicone water lines to not let them heat too much mainly on 6S.This esc was built to attend car models...see the position of wires,caps and its cooling is not good for boats but with this mod it will run very cold.Yours is the version 3 with minicaps added sold by many and the best price is at HobbyKing.Anyway If you face issues with them don't think twice...the new Swordfish 240a Hv is the solution.Mine is working pretty nice on another saw rigger and paid off the extra cost for sure.looking forward to see yor boat wet.
Gilles

Sorry I forgot to say to add a antispark i.e. a 5 ohm 5 w resistor to the red wire as shown on the second pic to keep the terminals of bat & esc in good shape.Gilles

Thanks Gilles,
The conversation in English is perfect for me my French is not that good, living on the Flemish site of Belgium Anvers?
Thanks for the great tips and pictures, I’m going to try running on 5s with 447 props. If they getting to hot I will change the water flow thruw the esc.
Still looking for the best by lipo's, was in the shop last week and they had the 5s 5000 mA for 93€ lot of money think I’ve to save still a bit money before buying the batteries and loader.
But I will definitely will install the anti spark wire very good tip
Thanks
