I've gotten 50 miles per hour out of the 48 millimeter stock. And 60 miles per hour out of the stock 52 millimeter prop. The smaller of the two was much more efficient however created a ton of cavitation at lower speeds. The larger of the two didn't seem to use the mah available before voltage cutoff.

Read the full thread on the 48 both in this forum and over on RC groups. Tons of info in both places. Consensus so far is that sharpened & balanced 48mm 1.4 pitch props work extremely well. I have a 1.6 pitch to try but haven't quite got there yet. I've done good things with cnc props so far.

The 52mm prop that comes with the boat is really intended for 6S operation. You *can* run it on 8s but just be aware that stresses your electronics a whole lot more - so be careful & check temps if you do that.
