Hi I am running all stock with the exception of two octura 442
. I installed 3600 mah 8 cell nimhs that I know are heavy but still
reliable. How much speed should I expect?

I would expect low 30's. I would encourage you to go lipo. Once you turn to lipo, youll never go back to nimh!!

Not sure 442's is a good idea with stock gear.

on nimh 442's will be fine lol 30's are you for real..on 3s it won't do the claimed 40..well maybe on a glassy lake with the wind behind it lol more like 25mph...

Not brutal just realistic. My boat probably does 35-38 during the first 10 sec. Of run then decrease from there. With xl's sure no doubt 40
