Hey here is my fc daytona. This was the maiden will get more videos up, quite choppy on this particular day but the boat floated nicely.

Looks like fun,
Where was your strut set at and CG set at in the video ? -
Why do you ask (I'm curious what you think of its behavior in the rough water)? Believe it or not the cog is set very far forward for this video. Strut is angled up only a degree or so. The boat is very light and floaty looking in the video, lately its been riding wet though and I don't know why. Where do you think the COG should be on such a big boat? BTW i have x457 in that video 11s, now running x465 on 12s. Gasser props on 12s with props spinning inward, no gps but my hope is I'm a 80-90mph

I would set it up with the stingers level with the sponson's,
Put hull on a nice flat table and make spacer to go under the stinger at the transom,
Now put the spacer at the prop shaft end and make it level all the way.
And than work on the CG at 26 degrees and move forward as needed.
Try going small with the props till it is riding nice and than prop up some more and see what it does,
If it gets to airy move the cells just a little bet forward and so on.
Till she riding nice and stable.Comment

I have been trying out a lot of different setups. I have seen video of the guys over in germany running their boats on nothing but the prop, very impressive. The x465 props spinning inward on 12s1p per side makes for a brutal display of power lol. I am going to have andy brown cut down a pair of x470s to 60mm I think. Tried out 5518 3 blade cnc props and they sucked so they'll be for sale soon. The boat is so heavy at 11.5kg I kinda wish I went with a higher amp setup, an excuse to pick up some leo 1090 5692s maybe. Thanks for your help LennyComment

Glad to help,
But just thinking out loud.
In the video it looked like it was running pretty smooth once it hit top speed,
Try the stings level and that will bring the bow down some and give it more speed to.
Than do the CG with the cells back some to let it air out again,
But not to much or it will try to fly and blow over.Comment
? ONLY IF THEY WORK
