Doesn't anyone ever follow the provided links anymore??

June...

The new Pro Boat policy is to NOT announce anything unless they are withing 4-Weeks of being IN STOCK. Seems to be working well thus far.

I'm not exactly sure what the factory prop is based on. I know that I tested using everything from a 1715-17-45(2) to an 1817-17-45(2). The later got things a little warm. I BELIEVE that the stock prop closely matches the 1716-17-45(2). A good sharpening and balancing of that prop should yield some nice speeds and handling.

My video above was an 1815-17-45(2), and on 4S, using a Dynamite 1800KV, the boat hit 53mph, and lapped in the low-50s to upper-40s (as the battery fell off)...

I never tested anything other that 4S, because frankly, I don't need any more that 4S to get the most out of this system, and that's what we race with.

Pretty bad ass guys good job! Never owned a Hydro but this one sure is slick looking.

Hi Darin,
Thanks for the info. I was thinking about UL1. I'm sure glad I waited. This boat in definitely on my list.

This thread seems unnecessary now that the announcement has been made and the UL-19 has it's own discussion thread. Just sayin...
