    If you are asking for my use, I say no. I have a MM and tried various setups even with the 1521/1D the boat is super nice and fast but cannot handle very high speeds especially on the sea.
    Although, it is a very nice hull, plenty of space very good stability comparing to many boats and I will never sell it.

    If you ask for your use, I say yes. If you look in the swap shop there is one for sale from Ice329. I had bought exactly the same (without the hardware) and fixed following the setups/instructions from this forum. So you can buy the hull from Ice, a feigao 9 or 10XL, an ETTI 150, 2 4s batteries do some reading here and you will have a great time. The mean machine is very good and strong boat.

            UL-1 with a Buaas tweaked prop, taped on air dam and 4500 30C 4S1P packs. 65 mph in SAWS. $330 ready to run, just need batteries.

              Anybody remember where that Japanese site was , they were racing riggers across a bay at those speeds. Those boats looked 8 ft long and 5 ft wide.
              The SP 40 is only 36" long . It won't handle sea waves . it wont handle 6" chop at 65 mph .
              Bill , My son said you were at Havasu Last weekend . How Did you do ?
              My son won 4 classes . That water is rough , but not like the sea .

                He did better than me. Third in Open offshore, middle of the pack in G-1 mono, and not so good in sport hydro. One DNS and one DNF did me in. New boat, still working out the kinks. We only ran 3 heats due to the weather.

                VERY tight course with on odd layout (one turn very small radius, the other normal, and the course was skewed relative to us.)

                Did not realize that Dale was your son!!

                And I lost the link to the Japanese riggers, amazing to watch!!!

                Offshore course was a kick
