Thanks! Yes, that's what I did.

Travis, very nicely done brother...Fluid had a very valid point...try testing with fresh charged each run...even just a short run can make a big diff, specially when your trying to get just a few mph more....DJ

It would be impossible to charge in between runs. I'm riding out to a lake in my atv.....

But, I've run 82.xx with the m645....swap props....79.xx....swap back to the m645...82.xx again.

Travis, looks good, Ive got one of those cut down a bit (48mm) cupped/detounged/backcut and I just finished a s/b/thinning on it...to be honest I'm still a bit leary about thinning much...on a 45mm that was just s/b I was getting esc temps around 130 ....so not sure if I should try that worked x450 on that setup or not...least not till I do the seperate cooling upgrade....DJ

Well this one is for someone. He told me try it if I want before sending to him.

You know, of all my prop tests on the Miss Behavin' Geico, the 645 has been most consistently best. Have an ABC that is good at speed once it stops cavitating, but it falls off in the corners.
The 646 is defiantly a cleaner cast to start with.

aint no doubt about that. thinner than the m645 just has a tongue. The abc i tried cavitates like a mofo, grabs and then jumps nthe boat out the water. yea....im not into that. Id rather not have to recover it every other pass. Ive been quite lucky. Ive yet to have a blow over.

Don't say that too loud..... "Blowover"

Well.....I may this weekend lol. It should go a little faster!

BTW the props look good! Ya know blowovers mean one of two things, (1)either your setup is wrong or (2) you're on the ragged edge of that hull going as fast as it can go. I'm thinkin' you're headed for #2 cause you wouldn't be going as fast as you are if your setup was wrong..

Maybe so....I have some ideas on how to counter act that tho....hopefully. I'm heading to the lake shortly with a small arsenal of props to try lol.
