Be very carfull when punching the throttle , even at speeds around 60mph mine will nose up and catch air ! It is a steady increase that will keep you on the water. I have blown mine over at over 70 and twice at 50 mph all because of hitting the throttle to hard. I dont think you will need water jackets but the wieght will be benificial. I am guessing your speeds to be in the 70's with the 800 kv motors. You have soo much power though. Everything should run pleanty cool !P.S. I would thrust with your struts. I use Octura thrust washers and leave a gap about the thickness of a thumb nail. Thrusting with my motors caused alot of lift on the back end and made mine handle wierd. My opinion when building a boat that thrusts with motors has to be planed so that the motors angle in the hull is as the direction of thrust..... Set up looks nice and clean ,Good job !

Randy I didn't know they made water jackets for outrunners? :) I think you were thinking water cooled motor mounts.... But you are right about the super sick setup and I bet those quads can put out some serious bow lifting thrust... Ha ha... Had to pick on ya about the water jacket thing...Comment

wow that is one clean looking build! Can't wait to see it run! Make me sad my 54in super hawaii never made it to the states. I wanted to do a four engine model of the real thing. post video!"Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument, an exchange of ignorance." Robert QuillenComment

Yep I hope she goes fast - its been raining here for a few day's so I have not had a chance to test
If not I will replace motors with the New Castle 2028 motors 780 KV'S that i have on order from Castle - I am having Water jacket's made for these as we speek
I'm sure this will move this hull!!!
