Ran the boat stock for a while then decided to set it up properly. The CG was way off, around 20%, set it up at 30% and made a big difference. Unfortunately, there was a small leak around the stinger and with the hull more balanced, water was able to get to the motor and toast it.
Plan is to use a more powerful motor, replace the non adjustable solid shaft stinger,stiffen up the hull.
Action shot were you can see the solid shaft stinger
