      Thanks for the tip. I seem to be getting more and more into boats. Now I'm looking for a deep v or mono hull boat begining at 35" to about 40" electric. Any recommendations? I have look at the Spartan and the 41" at HOR. Any advise is good.

          Mamba again thanks for the tip. I did have concerns about the Spartan. Now if you don't mind suggest to me the motor and ESC for the DF35. Also what hardware to use. I like that hull I saw on OSE. Looks like something I would have to build but thats fine too. For the DF 35 I just want to be all out fast.

            Need help bad with my MC!!! I put in a new setup like Slapahond did in his MC... Tacon 2200 kv Seaking 180amp esc on 5s with a GR 42 x 55 prop and my MC barely got over 25 mph way slower than stock???? The rpm sound strong out of the water but in the water it's pretty slow. Got bullet connectors everywhere. Calibrated esc to my radio. Does the esc need to be programmed? I did mention I was a newby rite? Can anyone shed some light on my plight. Thought I would be hauln butt by now. Not a great feeling rite now.

            Thanks to anyone who replies!

              Does the motor run faster when you put it in reverse?

                What kind of batteries and what is the LVC set at on your esc? Factory setting is 3.2 v per cell so unless you changed it that's is probably what it is at. Also is it set to auto calculate ( factory setting) or for 5 s? Your motor is also better suited to 4 s

                  Thanks guys for your replies @Slapahond have not tried the rev, by that do you mean switch my radio throttle to rev? I have no reverse set for the boat @Theshaugnessy I have 1 5000 40c 7.4 2s and 1 5000 40c 11.1v 3cell to make up 5 cells. Does this sound like the correct battery pkg to run to get at 5 cell. It is according to my LHS. I just ordered a program card today from OSE. Any thoughts??

                    @ straitline one time when I put a new system on a car I had a similar problem, I then tried the car in reverse and it was way faster. Everything functioned properly after I reversed the throttle on the remote and I think I also had to switch 2 wires on the motor.

                      Slapahond Thanks for the info I will try that tonight and see what that does although can get to the lake till this weekend hopefully it will be 50 degrees or better. You have some bad a$$ vids keep them coming. A person like myself can learn alot from just watching!

                            Not exactly sure but I will have it clocked this weekend after some fine tuning. I'm over 50 for sure!

                              OSE, I'm finally happy with my MC and the new set up. Last week at the lake my boat was clocked at 53 MPH!!! I was pumped I just wanted to hit 50. I think with some tweaking I can get a little more out of it. I was a great day water had a slight ripple (small). MC was a little unstable just before I lifted off the trigger, but fast. I will begin to make adjustments to see if I can better that 53 MPH. But for now.......WOW..Thanks Mamba!
