    Thanks! I just run this stock but occasionally it dives so I figure I need to add weight in the rear.
    Too many boats, not enough time...

        They have a habit of diving because for the hull to work right, it needs to sit on the stern..the prop that comes with it is a LIFTING prop..get a good subsurface prop, or, mod your prop, and you will see a immediate difference. here are pics of a stock prop, sitting next to a prop I modified to kill the lift...other pic is of the prop that works the best.DSCN3083.jpgDSCN3116.jpg

            It is a 27mm prop I think, for the life of me I couldn't find anything else. I don't know how to mod the prop. Can you point me to a better substitute prop that is a direct bolt on which doesn't give any lift?
            Thanks in advance.

                          Mini ECO's are flying off the shelf this summer due to our summer sale. We sold out a second shipment really fast. We now are waiting for our third shipment. It will come in three phases Sept 24-Oct 10.
                          Check the website to keep up. We do have Micro Hydros and Starships in stock. Starships are shown at 15% off but for OSE members we will offer 25% off. Email us or message us here.

                          Thanks,
                          Jim

                            Jim, Any concerns running these in salt water? These look like they have quality parts so I assume it is just the normal maintenance I do on my other boats. I have seen some lower end boats with just mild steel parts that rust before the end of the day. I am leaning towards the Mini ECO or Hydro.

                            Cheers,
                            Tab

                              So long as you do the normal maintenance of rinsing everything down well and then applying some corrosion X or other moisture absorbing compound, you can run in Salt water without problems. Many other customers of our do it.

                              Thanks,
                              Jim
