    They're all s/b'ed by the guy. If I remember correctly, there were 3-4 445's, a few 455's 2 blades and 3 blades. I want to say there were easily 16 blades in the box.

    the blades are in good condition.

    here's a pic of the 440 and 442. All the props are in similar condition.

      I would like to buy one or so of the 455/3,
      And may be some of the other three blade props.
      Just let me know what other size's of the three blade props are.

      And also what going on with the Rio ?

          I don't know. I only got those 2 props for now. I'm picking the rest up tomorrow. There has got to be 16+ props. I know I saw a few 445's and some others I was unsure of I'm going to keep a 445 for myself but I'm pretty sure there were 3 or 4 of them

              That is good,
              Also you want to stay with 30c or higher soft packs for cell for your boats.
              And that IS how I ran my Daytona setup level and with the x442 , Neu 1515 1y 2200kv, Sk 180a,
              On two 4s pack in parallel and the temps stay in check for good running for the summer.

                I'm running 2x 2s 8000mah 30c batteries. Amp supply from these batteries should be good enough. I want to pick up a set of 4s batteries, but I have a few other projects I'm working on.

                I did notice with the added speed/adjusted strut it is a lot less stable. I managed to flip it by coming off the throttle and cutting it hard to the right. It caught its own wake and flipped.

                  No they do not like cutting hard turns,
                  These hull you need to drive them with both hands on the wheel and both eye on the boat.
                  Mine has a very good offset rudder setup and does very good in the turns for a narrow cat,
                  And pretty stable to and the hull like any added weight to it.
                  There is a couple good video's of it if you would like to see and pictures of the rudder setup.

                          Yes it is a up grade to 3/16" strut and offset rudder combo,
                          Or you could just go with spacers to offset the stock rudder.
                          Hears some more info on what you want to do.

                            Man I am not having good luck. I just got back from running the boat, ATLEAST the batteries stayed connected this time, I put the new castle connectors on it. I was going wide open across the pond and the boat hopped violently out of the water. Bring it back to shore and the transom is opened like a can opener. A nice ding on my new 442, but no marks on the rudder or signs of damage elsewhere.

                            How do I go about fixing my transom? Can I fill the splits with thick ca and let it dry over night??
