    Heres my Thank You List: there are a few

    Firstly OSE and Kintec Racing, who supplied most of the stuff for this build. Both were excellent fast shipping on multiple orders, and made zero mistakes. Excellent as always. never disappointed by either in all my years in the hobby.

    Keith Bradley boats and Joel Mertz. both of you pushed me to do better than i thought i ever could. Without your encouragement and ( guilt ) lol, i probably would not have gone the extra mile on so many things with this one. Keith was super to deal as a customer, and always tossed in a little extra. thanks a ton. Joel, for everything you've done, including the freebies... i can't thank you enough. i owe you. the power supply is awesome buddy!

    Travis and Monojeff. travis, you're a wealth of knowledge dude. i gotta give it to ya. and thanks for the tabs you sent me. needed those. appreciate your always willingness to help and explain in details about how you've done stuff. it really is great for the hobby man.
    jeff, the decals came out awesome and added that finishing touch.

    Progressive rc and buddy rc, for the batteries and charger. progressive is super fast shipping and great to deal with. buddy rc was a first but the packs came quick...


    And lastly, to everyone who joined in and gave their input. weather i used it or not, i am so grateful you've followed along on this build. You guys are the best!

        it looks awesome man, couldn't ask for a better mono this size imo.

        Any lakes thawed by you guys yet? I think my lake was thawed for 12 hours tops before I was there lol. Should be an awesome first run.

          some of the rivers are, but they carry too much debris for me to want to run in them.
          no lakes yet.....

              Thanks Joel.

              I really hope the esc I got is enough.
              The boat is heavy. It'll be a bear to move thru the water

                  Anybody else think the x450 is too hot for my setup?
                  I've gotten a couple of people questioning wheather this is too much.
                  Thanks

                    I would think if you kept Rpms below 35k then it would be ok.

                    The pitch on that prop is 2.7 and I'm running a 3.0 (rounding off) pitch 648 and my amp draw is 250-270. But that's at 40k rpm. An x or m447 might be a better choice if your going to run it full throttle till the batts run down.

                      I would do a single big pass and check temps.

                        I haven't been on here much in a while, been consumed with indoor off-road racing. WOW bud! Real nice job on this boat, can't wait to see it run!

                              hey john, I'm hoping to get out this weekend. theres still ice in some places, but i think it should be thawed by this weekend.
                              funny, all my choice spots are still ice and the crappy spots are thawed.

                                I was at Fresh Pond Saturday and the ice is gone and we are going to run Saturday, come on down. I have been watching your build it looks awesome. I have a DF35 and I love it. I have a new DF 34 Hydro to dial in it will be the first run. Hope you can make it.
