Do you have a larger esc? If so put a m445 on it and its easy to get the bounce out. You just need to get it moving. I found that prop and the batts about a half inch from being off the back of the trays eliminated all the bounce. Can't giv an exact cog as my boats torn apart right now. Set the boat on a tableset the strut neutral and make it so its holding the back of the sponsons about an eighth of an inch off the table. I had a heck of a time trimming it out on smaller props. I did find that the same set up with a 642 had almost no bounce but that was with the 1800 kv motor so it was still doin low 40s. Bottom line, speed will get it out.

Which speed controller are you running?
I put the GrimRacer 42 x 55 Prop on tonight but have not tried balancing or sharpening it yet. I'm trying to do stuff in baby steps so I can understand what difference each change makes. Hoping to get a lesson on balancing and sharpening tomorrow :)
If I change the prop to a 445 and upgrade the speed control what kind of speeds can I expect?Comment

What are your run times?
I'm trying to figure out how to have 10min of run time and some speed? Not sure what that balance is but I have a feeling I'm close to it now. Bit worried if I start upgrading I'm going to loose some run time?Comment

Heat will be your issue going for 10 min. I race 4min Offshore class races. Ive played an extra lap or two but I never run my boats down to LVC. I used to when I got started, but now that I dont do that anymore, I have noticed a significant change in my batteries.
You can get the 10 minutes, but Id imagine your going to be on a small prop and low 30s. Upgrading things will certainly pull down your run time. Answer, more batteries.Comment
