      DAM! I've been wanting to do something like that. Looks like the motors look pretty scale with the hull, nice job!
      What motor/esc/battery setup are you running? Can you post some pictures of the interior?

                    I'm thinking in the 50-60mph range once I change the plastic props out for some good ones, the plastics won't handle 4s for very long and flex to much anyway.

                      Are you set up with counter-rotating outboards? Are those the TFL units from HobbyKing?
                      I would have liked to build one that would go 40'ish

                        or is this the unit you are using?
