Nice looking rebuild. My couple suggestions would be to buy a fiberglass hatch or make sure you reinforce the plastic ones they break easy. I am running the same motor and esc in mine and I have found that anything over mid 50's is ready to fly so watch out. I have found that 4s with a 642 prop can typically push the boat to a fun level without flight. On 5s or 6s it's a rocket but using the power on tap is difficult. I have ran as large as a 1816/3 on 4s to get 57 mph but never could get above 3/4 throttle out of the prop as the hull design creates a lot of lift. A lot of people add weight to the front with pour in foam, one of my 2 boats has this and it has helped me from airing out and crashing on smooth water but on choppy water it is a disaster as the boat wants to nose dive. I am actually gonna try to install a bladder up front on the second boat and see if I can add or subtract water depending on the conditions. Best of luck to you and once again nice job.Comment

Thanks this is my first attempt at a boat.. I did the inlay on the hatch as well. went out over the weekend and ran it with an x440 defiantly not enough prop I have a x645 and only plan on running on 4s I think after the research I did this should work fairly well but we will see I might just have to pick up the x642 as well to tame it I will probably end up moving on to a twin prop design hull after I play with this for awhile it's kind of a learning platform of sorts I guessComment
