      Wow... if anything that's a testament on how well that boat is built... I think you caught it right on a seam when it hit... From the sound of it hitting the water I'm surprised it didn't blow apart

            what motor do u have in the boat shaughnessy? its hulling for sure////i think lso has to be a spec motor but not sure....
            I have the ul1 motor in there so I'm good for spec, unless you read the rule book, but hopefully that will be updated soon.

            What are you running in like two inches of water? Boat is running nice and smooth, looks like its a great setup!
            it is pretty shallow in parts, the plus side is if i happen to flip i can just walk to the boat cause the water isn't deeper then 4 feet in most areas..


            I was worried about that wall a couple times but it adds a little rush.

                Damages are a little worse than I thought. Found some fine spider cracks all over where it flexed in. Not sure about what I will do now. Hate to fix all that and re do some of my work on the steps because it damaged that are too now.
                Might be better to get another hull. Idk.

                  Shaughnessy, I puckerd at 0:12.

                  Thats a bummer Justin. Id just re-work it. With as difficult as it is to find a blank hull, and for the price when you do.... Suddenly your times not that bad.

                  Heres a shot of a Geico vs a Sprint cat Aeromarine. I spun out in very choppy water going into a turn, the SC was not far behind me and didnt see me facing the wrong direction. As he went intot he turn, his left side rear caught my left front sponson. Heres the outcome.....

                  Vid, 15 seconds in. Sorry for the camera mans reaction...


                  Oh and the Aeromarine is a Q-offshore boat running w/ LSO. So yes, he is a bit faster.

                                even stock running good C rated lipos could do it on the 42x55 prop but I would try a X642 or even a X645 as that would do it fore sure
