            Nice work Wayne..

            The cat sounds awesome.
            Like the way you had the video camera on the boat.
            Bought myself a GoPro video camera a while ago
            with the same idea in mind.
            Just haven't got there yet.
            Seeing your vid has spurred my on.
            Thanks mate.

            How are those entropy lipos , been thinking about buying some from Andrew.G
            They look very interesting.

            Now some paint would be good.
            And how fast is she going with those 6 cells.

            Thanks mate......

              Gday.
              I thoroughly enjoyed reading through your build thread... several times.
              I discovered the need for transom strengthening !
              142kmh can do some interesting things to Fg seams...

              Entropy are good .
              Have melted TP and Hyp, Entropy never.. these come back cooler, and less inclined to bloat under stress.
              Charts on AG site are true representation of voltage support during discharge.
              Only thing Ive noted, they handle better if cycled a few times before horrendous abuse.

              Paint.. nope !
              Ive a wrap coming from Jeff, without name or #

                Thanks a lot for the info and pic, I have some next projects in mind and after watching your vid and speed the twin Maritimo is first priority...
                Your boat will look great with that wrap!

                  I was aiming for 65-70mph ...

                  Next outing will see some more video after struts are lowered, cg moved fwd, and ducks removed from test water !
                  Wrap will be fitted once all the setups are completed.. 88+mph blow overs are possibly bad for skins !
