    Y'know I had Chris do me a PropShop 445/3 that is REAL nice on my Pursuit. Nice size without too much lift.

      I'm afraid a three blade will pull even more amps. This is actually going to be a play boat for me in rough waters as soon as i find out the max speed I can get. Right now I'm shooting for 80. But when I get to 80 I may want to take it further.

            The little bit of chine walk you had wasn't bad, try running it out a little futher. Sometimes you can drive through it, if it gets real violent then let out. Even at the worst, it'll just roll over or stuff I've done it with my Ariane a few times and even with that big Vern Kilmer Viper. Monos don't stay upside down as easy as cats do.

                    Well, on a Positive note you built it like a tank..........secondly a Mono has less damage(if at all) in a flip/crash, (they tend to wanna plug or at times do a 360* and keep on truckin)......Cats have more, and I have seen Hydros trashed.

                      Certainly worth all the effort Travis. Nice to see it run.
                      See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

                            Watched them at work today while at lunch, they were good! I guess you could move the rudder down if you have the room. I am not fond of putting more holes in my boats though.... lol
                            I guess if you want to try a small 3 blade you could go from that point so you don't pull the smoke out of the ESC....
                            Why are you bothering me? I want to see your boat!

                                The 69mph video was the most impressive. It was closer and a longer run. I'm on the fence about changing prop at the moment. I think I have a good plan at the moment.
                                1) remove slack from rudder
                                2) raise strut a bit. Retest. The prop is prett deep in the water after watch and zooming in on it. I think that would drop the amps a bit. If it doesn't im going to run an m447 on it.
