Sorry wat I hv is medusa v2 2000 36x70mm. Hobbywing 100HV esc n 4s 4100 mah lipo.

Will the boat be unstable?

I' ve seen one of those at the lake here. It seemed about as stable as an SV27. At that speed it may be tough to handle.

nothing.

We tested that boat and decided not to carry it. The stinger style drive is not adjustable as the boat has a solid shaft. The angle of the stinger puts the bow down and the boat runs too wet. Otherwise it handled just OK. I am tempted to take the 'test' boat we have and put in a flexshaft so we can adjust the drive angle.

Somebody on Ebay is advertising it as a 50mph boat. That is just a flat out lie. Don't be snookered by these guys. At best, the boat runs 30-35mph. IMHO, there are a lot better boats out there at a similar cost.

Well it looks like he already has the boat so no doubt want's to work with what he has. It also looks like he has spent some money on it already so a new strut and flexshaft could probably be what he needs to get closer to the goal he is pursuing.

btw sailr if you have one of these hulls would you be interested in getting rid of it?

**sailr** · 08-01-2009, 05:53 PM

What would you give me for it with motor and esc?

Agreed. Converting to a flexshaft is definitely the way to go.
