    Finally tried to Lipos

    Although I am going to have to work on the set up a bit now, the boat ran pretty good. The first time out with the lipos in the stock location, the boat hit 52.8 mph. I moved them back about 2 inches, and the boat blew over on me a couple of times in the upper 40 mph range. I will say that at 52 mph with the batteries forward, the boat was very stable and ran great. When I moved the batteries back, I was having to make runs between some boat wakes.

    The bad news is, I broke the stringers out today, so I have some work ahead of me.

          mm that is going to be difficult. Trying to keep the boat on the water is not going to come easy. Its going to take a bit of testing to allow the bow to carry without blowing over.
