are you saying I got "screwed"? please explain Not looking to get bashed, looking for a boat that will run 65+ MPH on GPS. From my experience, which is little, Most people have no clue and the money to make a boat run 65Mph on GPS, most claim the speed and can't back it up. I am trying to post my reciept, says the file is to big, 65kb?

Laddie, I think you are a troll

Please don't post the receipt. You can list, but don't post. That is a conflict of interest all around for various reasons.

What about if I white out the prices? Not trying to cause any problems, Just trying to learn. I think it will helo if everyone knows what's on it.

Here is the brakdown of what I got.

The front is loaded with floatation and I took out the side ones for pics' Chris says it will float "level" if ever crashed or flipped

Glad to hear it! I never skimp on flotation. I like the "bobber" effect!

Doug, cut the guy a break. He's asking for help. We don't need put-downs on somebody who is relatively new to electrics.

Midwest, we'll help you out as best we can. Where in IL are you located? I'm in White Heath, about 20 miles east of Clinton (center of the state). I haven't done much with BIG boats like yours, but one of the guys I work with has several (mostly gasoline) boat monos and cats (I do hydros), and I've played around with electrics since the late 1980's. I'm sure we can help you out.

Thunder Power cells are very, very good products. If that's what you bought from Fines, you don't have to worry about them. TP stands behind their cells.

BTW, I hope that NY Sales Tax was 0.00 - you don't owe any since you don't live there and he doesn't have an office here.

I dont think its that hard to run 60 if you have the money and these forums but I dont think 15min run time is at all that practical...if you want long run time stay with gas

Andy, Thanks, I am in Goodfield IL, about 45 minutes from you. Right between Peoria and Bloomington IL. I race in the IMPBA, we are district 4. I was the "first" to get these batteries from Chris. He is not happy that I am not happy but he said he would take these back or he will ship 2 more for more "power" and "run time".

Andy

it was. I asked for the best money could buy. My Question is, did I get it? or did I get hosed? He said this is his exact setup except the battery brand. Like I said, he is still working with me. Just dis-appointed it didn't show up RTR like he said, I figured for that $ it would.

A question and quote Wish I would have done some more research $2800 ago. and now the invoice shows $3,000????

If this all true, you were taken to the cleaners and I and other members will try to assist you.

from what I have learned and observed here at OSE I would say your boat is awesome and very capable of the claimed speeds just not the claimed run times

looks like a pretty good installation also ....I would maybe liked to have seen some
carbon fiber on the floor for a 60-70 mph boat and some reinforcement on the wood rails
just my noob opinion
good luck with it man,,,it sure looks good
