Finally got the boat in the water for the first time. Here is how it went.
Totally stock, plastic prop and all. 42.4 mph (GPS). MaxAmps 2s 6500 mAh (not topped off).
Rock solid in glass water, but flipped it crossing a wake. Landed prop down, but lost a rearview mirror. Continued to run.
I was having so much fun I lost track of time. No stutter bump, just died on the water (this may be my inexperience though).
Many thanks to Capt Crash for the "rescue tug" idea. Equipped with the pvc/pool noodle "H" the rescue went flawless. Not as much fun as the UL-1 but runs MUCH longer.
Will try the L38x55 today. :thumbup:
