    Mono or hydro? I run two Pro 40 II hydro's, one in nitro Sport 40 and the other is a 6s Q hydro. I think they are great running boats I've had great luck with them.

      I raced an AC Lightning cat as a P Limited boat, and an R-42 as a T Cat. I raced the latter at a World’s Race in Open Cat, placed third out of over 25 boats in the class. I liked the R-42 a lot.

        I have a Lazer powered by a big TP motor (1000Kv), I run on 8 and 10S, tons of room to run 2P also for runtime and boat is absolutely bulletproof, so well built. Initially I had it more setup for speed runs and it almost broke 80mph, I now run it in the low to mid 60's and it's just a blast, very stable and predictable hull. Highly recommend AC although I am not sure if Andy is still building anymore.

            I have a Lazer 40” mono running twin steerable outdrives. Tuff boat to flip. I also have a R-42 running twins, awesome handling boat. Handles 75-80mph no sweat. Andy does very nice work and is a hoot to run with and chat with, not to mention very helpful.

                I kind of overkilled it with Castle 1717’s. A pair of 4082’s would do well enough

                      I wouldn’t say overkill being 1515’s. I am still contemplating putting my 1520’s in there to lighten it up. They are 1500kv 4092’s basically. To give you an idea, I am just running 447’s on 1/4 flexes on it now. 3/16” and lighter motors would extend my runtime some.

                          Per motor is 8800 mah on that run. If lighter maybe one could get away with less.
