    Prop Recommendations

    Ok im looking to get as much speed as i can without cooking things.

    My current setup is

    SV-27
    ETTI 150 ESC, the non BEC version
    Fiegao 8xl
    30c 6500mah lipo's running 4s total

    Props i have, both sharpened and balanced
    Grim Racer 42/55
    Prather S220 (GPS speed of 47mph on very rough water)

    But i feel i should be able to go faster,

    Any ideas would be great

      Thanks for the input.

      that 230 on a 12l should move.

        Not wanting to burst your bubble, but NO-ONE does 47 Mph on "very rough water" with a SV-27. It will not stay right side up....now if you have a video to show us what your definition of "very rough water"...that might be different....

        Not wanting to upset you, but you can be ensured that just about everyone that has driven or seen a SV run is probably having a good laugh at your claim.

          I cant ever run my past half throttle most of the time in rougher, choppier water.

            A little snappy there aren't we...

            My definition of rough water is nothing more than wind blown chop. Enough that high speed runs often end in the boat coming out of the water.
            There were several trips in the kayak to get the boat. I never said it didn't crash or flip, all i specified was that at some point it made it to 47mph before it crashed.

            Back on topic, i am looking for prop recommendations to maximize my setup.

            Thanks

              I have the same problem with choppy water as well. It is all that i can do most of the time to stay upright.
