    You did such a nice built on this boat. I can only speak for me an old guy that runs for sport by myself sometimes, to have a 50 mph boat that can right itself is worth it to me. I have been looking at the over seas builds just for that reason. I would push that one more than my Revolt and not have to worry about retrieving. Again great job.

    It's the same here! I've built this boat to run it in open sea without worry. I will film this baby in open sea rough water in the following months.

        It is hard to see how everything is laid out inside. It would be nice to know how you have it all balanced out.

          Did you look at pics in post #09, #19, and #37?
          The only difference is that to fit 4S3P I have changed the position of the batteries like in the picture below

            New bigger carbon turn fins

            To run this boat in rough water I have made these bigger turn fins.

                    Painting scheme

                    Last week I was in holiday in a very beautiful sea in the south of my country and the day before leaving I decided to try a possible painting scheme just sticking some white electrical tape on the hull and some stickers I have from my rc cars.
                    Then as soon as I have some time to upload some video I filmed over there I will post the link here in this thread.

                        This is a video filmed in a wonderful sea in the south of Italy.

                            Another painting scheme

                            I have tried a little different painting scheme and got some action pics in the waves

                              Top speed setup?

                              Last Saturday on mirror water conditions I have measured a top speed of 86 Km/h (53 mph) and 2 weeks before the GPS top speed was 90 Km/h (56 mph)
                              My present setup is the following
                              Battery: 5S2P Gens Ace 5300 30C
                              Motor: Turnigy HK4082 1600kv
                              ESC: Turnigy 180A
                              Prop: X447/3
                              The question I can't understand is why the boat leans on the left side at that speed? Isn't it supposed to counter roll the prop on the right?
                              Could be the rudder?
                              I have tried to use trim tabs to solve this issue. The right trim tab is parallel to the keel and the left one is pushed down a bit.
                              It seems to me that with this setup the boat runs pretty well not too lose and not too wet with little kine walk and with the electronics sufficient cool. The ESC was at 43°C (109°F) and the motor was at 37°C (99°F)
                              Is there something else to try?

                                love your action shots
                                it seems awhile ago some negative waves were coming, but now your launching over them.
