um not a good afternoon , strut screws were a little loose motor torque pulled strut out of the stuffing tube at bottom of boat esc was programmed for 18.5v so boat saw low voltage and would not plane, wateroutlet tube in top of rudder broke and should i go on spent 4 hours fixing stuff, drilled strut and added set screw so it will not slip afain ALL GOOD TEST TODAY I HOPE ............

That sucks buddy. Hopefully it goes better today.

Yeah man no problem. Here is the motor with a jacket I made before nipples installed. Motor is65mm long, 43.5dia and weighs about 300g jacketless. Produces around 1600w supposedly.

Another idea which I tried is the stock motor on 6s. I think mine went about 53mph or so with the 642. Cheap way to go faster.
