I live in Felicity. It's about 35 miles southeast of Cincinnati, and about 5 miles north of the Ohio River. Parma is up near Cleveland isn't it ?

SirBudman32 already answered the color question, but thank you anyway - and I definitely agree that the blue scheme is the nicest.

Do you have the abilitity to check speed?? -- If yes, are you getting the mid to upper 30's that crash440 stated??

Thanks Again

Thought I would reply to this. Mine did 23mph on a NIMH battery according to the GPS (Garmin Car GPS inside the boat) and about 29mph with the 2s 20c lipo. So I would guess 30 MPH at least without the added weight of the GPS. The boat is faster on the 2s 25c Lipo's that I have now too, just haven't done a speed test. Flipped the boat on take off the first time with the new battery due to the boost in power lol.

I'm running 2s 30c so I'm asuming that it would be faster than 25c lipos.

On 5000mAh 2S, around 27-31mph depending on prop. My highest speed was with an Octura Y535, with the ProBoat stainless prop I got about 28-29mph.

Yeah, I want to try different props for it, but I'm a little afraid to because i dont want to burn out the ESC. Thinking of starting a new project boat

I actually use a Hobbywing Seaking 60A ESC in this boat because I found the motor was pulling about 45-50A continuously with the ProBoat stainless prop, and about 55-60A with the bigger Octura Y535 according to my Eagle Tree logger. I think that the Proboat ESC is probably conservatively rated at 30A continuous, but that's why some people have had problems with their ESCs after upgrading to some Octura props.

I have also run the boat on 3S lipo with a small plastic prop (Octura X431) which gave me about 35mph, but also drew about 65-70A continuously.
