Mark.
Did you do a water pressure test on the cooling system? There could be a leaking fitting or cooling can O ring.
I use a syringe (without the needle) plugged into the water pickup line. Fill the system with water & when it starts coming out the outlet, block it with your finger & press the syringe hard. Look for leaks at all water tubing joints & at the water jacket O rings while the system is under pressure.

The other place could be up the stuffing tube.
I can't tell from your photos, but is there a gap between the transom & the body of the strut where the stuffing tube enters it. If so, it needs to be sealed because water is forced into the strut & up the stuffing tube into the boat.

They are usually the two main reasons that water enters a boat while running.

I think the prop is too small for that boat. Especially with all that weight. Try an X440/3. It will plane out much more quickly.

785 I can try testing the cooling going to check my steering boot as well. There's a rubber bushing around the tube at the transom but may try to get it into the stinger a little and caulk it up. Grade does poor out from there as well.

There's the real boater in me not trying to overdue my prop with a heavy boat.

Thanks

well at least it flips over out in the lake. Will look to hash out my water issue and seal up the stuffing tube to stinger area.

Sorry about the video zoom on my Iphone and my dad was filming.

You will find that most boats will turn better to the right than to the left. That's why most R/C racing is done on a clockwise track.
Get used to running your boats in a clockwise direction. You should experience less spinouts & flips.
