    Check your prop/shaft angle to make sure it parallel with the bottom of the boat and the center line even with the bottom of the boat. Run fecalc program to figure out what prop. Input your current set up, this will give you a good base line and then just keep putting in larger prop sizes till fecalc says you will burn up your esc. Good luck.

      At 43 that boat should not be taking off of the water....

      You have issue with the strut level get the thing to plane nice then work from there... I'd try a 3 blade prop

            I've run mine on 6s.....That thing jumped out of the water; good for 38mph. Temps were good but I haven't done it since.....time will tell. The MG is a reliable boat that will do what u ask.

                      Sweet! No handling problems there. Looks like you have it dialed in pretty well. Just runnin' on the prop.
