    So far I have been able to hit 48.7mph with the stock, unaltered prop. My particular stock prop looks to be a little less than perfect. Instead of working on it, I decided to sharpen and balance a x645 which Rafael has said is equivalent to the stocker. This morning the boat ran 51.0mph with the x645. I also ran an x642 and it was significantly slower. I freely admit that I'm brand new to working on props and choosing them. I'm just learning and having fun. The boat seems to be running a little wet maybe even with the batteries all the way back and the tabs neutral. I still haven't touched the tabs or the strut.
    There is enough play between the strut and the stuffing tube to give you a max of 2* positive or negative angle without having to bend the stuffing tube or kinking the flex shaft. I run mine with as much positive as I can get. I like it to run a lose as possible.

    Also if your prop is damaged, please call our Product Support line to get a replacement.

      You're awesome Rafael. Thanks for the offer but I'm not to concerned with the 1.3 mph out of that particular prop. It's probably the boat set-up anyway. I really do appreciate that though.

      Yes, I may "trim it up" a hair and see what happens. My batteries are 5000mah 3S packs so I'm thinking they are a pretty standard size.

        I thinned and polished the prop some, I re routed the water lines so the water comes out of the top of the motor and then out the boat. I made the loop on the left side of the ESC larger.
        I use pro boat Grease, I have tried others and they are not the same, someone asked that.
        I just finished a 4 minute full throttle run in choppy water with the boat running tight.
        Love this boat, grease, charge and go!
        the bulk head fitting for the water line IN came out,,I think it was glued in with CA, will re glue with silicone

            Thanks for the reply, figured I'd ask the seasoned hobbyists!

            I can't wait to run mine! This boat is perfect size and proportions, and any angle this boat just looks boss!

                  A Prather 225 not a 230 without changiing Speedo a 230 to much prop would draw to much amps put that spedo in amp protection mode.

                    What do you mean by without changing speedo? Is that an esc? I have already upgraded to a 180amp esc.

                        Yes. You are correct.... Speedo = ESC

                          Do you think a 235 would be too much? I want to max out the the boat

                            Really an ideal "fun" size!
                            Great to read that, this is exactly the reason why I was thinking of getting this boat.
                            I am running my boats on a very large lake (->"Lake Geneva") and I have always felt that my Miss Geico was too small, especially in -relatively- rough water conditions.
