              I wasn't planning on running the 84 tomorrow but if we're talking pinks I might have to, and I'll run 40mm props

              Looking good Mark, excited to see her run in the morn.

                Well the maiden run went good, started out on 6s with 442's and then to 8s with same props. Water was a little choppy but she ran great. Can't wait to put the 447's on it and see what she's got.

                Here's a little video from Shawns earlier today.

                  Thats quite fast for 442's ... Did you gps any of those runs ?

                  Maybe try a smaller diameter prop (like 45mm) but with more pitch and detounged, etc?

                      Decided to paint the HPR over the weekend, was going to have it painted professionally but the guy is avoiding contact for whatever reason. So I went to AutoZone and bought the best rattle can paint $ can buy lol. Still needs wet sanding and clear coat. Haven't decided weather or not to put any type of graphics on it yet.

                            gixx1k2: I'm surprised to find that even my KBB45 seems to pass GPS signals quite fine and it has a seriously thick inlay. Place one in there with hatch closed... might work...

                              Not sure I'll be able to get it back it the water before winter, but if I can I'll definitely give it a shot.
