    Can someone tell me how my boat runs by this graph

    1st run copy.jpg
    This is a log from the first run after rebuilding my boat. Can someone tell me if the data shows a good setup or changes needed? Can I prop up or should I prop down? Not sure what to look for. The boat ran fast and straight but probably a little on the wet side. Need to move weight back a little.

    The boat-
    46" deep vee prather hull(had for about 30 years and finally converted it to electric)
    Castle Hydra Ice HV200 amp
    Turnigy Aquastar T20 set up at 730KV
    2-5s lipo in series=10s
    Graupner K series 51mm prop
    8mm bullets all around

    Thanks for your advise and help. If more info is needed let me know.

    The graph is 'way too busy to read well. If you can, get rid of these:
    Power
    Power Out
    Throttle
    Amp Hours

    Alternately, show us several graphs:

    Amps and ripple
    Volts and amps
    amps and rpm

      I agree with Fluid, and he is more experienced than I, but at a quick glance it looks like you peaked at about 85 amps, and temp never even got close to 100 deg(F), I'd be propping up..... But then again, a lot of my boats smell funny
      Any idea on the speed you were getting?

        Here are three suggested views. Sorry for the out of control seismograph earlier

          It was pretty fast it seemed. Not sure of actual speed but it was blowing by by brothers Pro Boat Implulse with no problem. Anyone know the top speed of that boat in stock form and a 3s lipo?

            The setup looks fine, as Kevin mentioned there is room to prop up if you want. Ripple is low, amps are low and temp is low. And a 51mm prop is awfully small for a 46" mono, I'd guess speed in the high-30s/low-40s without seeing a video (stock Impulse runs low-mid 30s). Try an Octura x455 or an x460, the latter 'should' be okay but will pull a lot more than 785 amps....start with the smaller prop and check for temps often. Average amps around 130 will wake the boat up.

              With the change in prop and getting amps to 130, what kind of temps do I need to be careful of? Thanks for your help. Once i get it painted up, I will get some video.

                Jay, I think you may have typo'ed on the amp estimate.

                Conservatively, what is the maximum amount of ripple that is acceptable?
