new to boats need some help

[midnightsabotage]

Shoreview, just north of St. Paul. You're not too far.

PM me sometime if you'd like to set up some day to run boats together before the lakes freeze over :p
I know of one other MN guy who wanted to meet up sometime too, I could see if he might be interested too.

You should have time to get the batts that i suggested in post #12 and run some since they are in the US warehouse in WA state and will get to you in three days with second level shipping............like 10 bucks or somewhere around there.............Try an x440 first if you have one, run it hard for 45 seconds and bring it in for a temp check.........if all three components are less than 135* and you're good.

ok will do. is this with the stock cooling system? i do plan on drilling out the rudder and getting an alluminum motor cooler.

so i got it all figured out. i checked the prop angle and noticed it was to far into the water. so i changed that and even with the sub par batteries had no issues until late in the run. i put my friends phone in the boat and saw a top speed of 53mph with 4000 20c batteries and a x442 prop. that was not full speed either i found that when im holding it down for a long time the entire boat is actually out of the water and it pretty stable but i get nervous because i had to go swimming the other night and its a little late in the year to go swimming here in MN.
