These are the Speedmaster Billet trim tabs that I am using. I beleive that they are the same ones KFXGuy is using too.

Sweet thanks...

That rudder is the standard TFL Pursuit rudder. As much as I like the kick-back feature, I would rather have a shear bolt than the open slot. I can't seem to get the bolts tight enough to keep the rudder from tilting in rough water at full speed, especially if I get a flip and then keep going. Please post your results.

So far I have had no issue with unnecessary kickback.

I ran an ABC 1915-17-45 this morning. Still stock motor and ESC. Water was glassy and I don't have this prop quite as sharp as it probably should be. A little breeze and a sharper prop might get a little more but anyway..... 57.3mph on 6S and 36.1mph on 4S. This prop has a pretty good amount of slip on acceleration from a stop and in tighter or slow corners. Boat is still handling great though. Lots of fun. Here are some temps. I would run a 2-3 quick passes and then bring it in read temps. I did not run full packs so these temps could go higher.

ESC - 126
Motor - 105
Batts - 95 95
ESC caps - 170
Motor connectors - 120ish

Love the speeds your getting with that prop, but looks like we could not use that for Q Mono racing
curious to see how temps would be for several laps

lets talk batteries for this boat. I am running 1 Gens Ace 6s 65-120c 5000 mah with 4 minute run time at full throttle.
As you people know boats are lipo battery killers as my stock boat is drawing 112 amps.

Gens ace and Pulse batteries have worked the best for me. Anyone running a Pulse 6s lipo in this boat.

your average during the run would be about 55-60amps, and that is plenty good
I run 65C pulse in my Planes and Helis but think for the money I could get better for cheaper

What does the 45 mean in your prop? I know the 19 is 1.9" the 15 is 1.5pitch, the 17 is the rake but what is the 45? I think this is the prop that i am going to order just want to make sure i order the right one. Thanks

I've run 91mph with that rudder. Scuff the mounting surface where it clamps.

Yes. I'm about to be working on Steve to start carrying some things that I have to get from kintec so I can just make my build orders from one place.
