I set up a friend with a X442 prop and on 6S2P the boat is a rocket. I think you have it over proped for a 6S setup. If you are running 4S I tried, do not know your problem.

I would suggest removing the stock trim tabs(if they are still on) and getting a set of adjustable split tabs. They can help a lot with stability.

I bought a second set of trim tabs identical to the ones I already have installed on it. Someone on here as this setup. I might try to doing that this weekend.

Welcome to the forum.

Check your strut angle by placing a straight edge along he bottom of the hull. The strut should be at neutral (straight) or just very slightly up or down (positive/negative trim).

Shouldn't be more than .5 - 1mm high or low off neutral at the far end of the strut.

Check the owners manual (available online if you don't have one) for more info on adjusting strut angle.

Thank you all for your comments!

By the way what is it called when the boat sways from side to side... port to starboard... (haha nautical) terms at speed?
Is that called walking?
And if so how do I go about getting that fixed?
Thanks again.

Thanks!

Glad to be here. Man your boats are wicked!

Yes! Thank you it is seems as though I cant gun it like is used from a stand still anymore. I cant believe changing something so simple as just the prop would make such a dramatic difference!

Changing the prop is potentially one of the most dramatic changes you can make with a very simple change.

With a powerful enough setup, and the right prop, you can get RC boats to literally jump out of the water if you gun it from a stand still.
