    That's kinda why I'm leaning towards the carbon fiber genesis. I know I won't be able to run fully throttle around the corner's like you can with the MC or MG. Get the CF genesis, then reinforce with more CF inside. Then I'm thinking on using the 2lbs closed foam in the front of the boat to help in being more ridged. It that a good Idea or not.

      sure this is a good idea. If you're planning on going 60+ mph... otherwise youll be ok... just concentrate on putting in good battery trays or hold downs. closed cell foam is ok, i just use pool noodles

        I know I said I would like to be above 40, but below 50. But I know this boat will be like all my other toys. My real boat is a 2006 Crownline 202, max hp rating is 320hp. Well when I blew the engine, in comes a 500hp 383sbc. Max speed 73mph. My truck is a 2007 Roush F150 RC500 only 65 made. The say the motor is only good to 550 flywheel hp. I'm probably pushing that or more. Plus I have a 2008 Roush stage 3 mustang pushing 468 rwhp, it's alittle screamer. And 3 RC heli's that I would hate to add up how much I have put into them.

        But if this RC boat hobby goes like my other hobbies. I'm sure I'll be looking at 6-8s and more speed fairly quick. I hope not though.

          When i bought my MC, i had the hobby shop automatically change the wiring on my boat to parallel wiring because i only owned 4s batteries no 2s. I really didn't think about the weight and have had no complaints so far. here is a video of me running it. i get about 8 - 10 mins runtime and my electronics do not overheat.

            I think your MC is just perfect.
