Hello! And Guidance...

[veefanboy]

Looks like it's an Octura x447...

What kind of speeds does that boat run with gas/nitro motor it comes with?

[veefanboy]

Supposedly 30-35. I am not able to affirm that personally.

Ok. Thanks

Mine came with a p230 prop and I used it a lot when I was testing and just getting the boat setup,
Now I like running three bladed props on mono because I think they run smoother with them.
The x447 is a good prop for that setup,
Make sure it is sharped and balanced.
Now Just the first couple time you run the boat.
Only run for 1 minute and stop and check all the temps on the setup and also look for water in the hull,
If temp are at 120f or below that and hull is pretty dry than run it again for 2 minutes.
And check everything again,
If temps are still good.
Run just a couple more minutes and keep a eye on things.

Thanks, Lenny

This project hasn't stalled out... I'm just waiting for a few shipments of goodies to arrive. Putting the puzzle together will surely be interesting! Thanks again for all of your advice!

Ok... So this project did stall out!!! But it's winter here in mn so I've revived the sw36 project - new motor and mount getting into position :-)
