They may be a few mph faster 2-3, but nothing dramatic. Only true way is too do like we did before, keep everything the same and change batteries and note the difference in speed.

Yea we had a great time. Rescue boat got the most time in the water lol. My boat ran a constant 45.2mph-45.5mph on two runs temps where 110 on the motor and 99 on the esc both runs in the same range. We got Mark's boat to hit 39mph stock before a motor bullet de-soldered and came off. Mark was running neutral on the trim and I was running a few degrees negative. Can't wait for us to all get together. Hopefully this Sunday we can get something going.
