After a week of scrambling to get the paint on between humidity spikes and all the goods crammed in there, I got a chance to test and tune today. Here is vid. 
Running weight is almost 9.5 lbs. specs are in the vid, but are:
motor 1521 1.5D
ESC Castle 240 LV
Prop octura detounged 452
all speedmaster hardware
COG about 2" behind sponson transom
temps were high at the start - 105F on the table during tape up. and 140F motor, 175F ESC.
After bringing the strut to neutral angle and up some - 7/8" or so, the hop went away and she handles great. I put the gps in the back for one run - bad idea. she did not like weight on the prop?!?
I will have more vid after race next weekend. I will be racing Q sport hydros...
