    I think when it comes to 100mph+ runs without breaking a boat...I still have you beat

    To be fair, when I broke that boat it was on a run where I had de-tuned it. I went down in voltage AND prop size, so it was only set up to run ~95mph. After multiple runs at 120mph+ and no damage, it was one of the slowest runs I ever made that hurt it. That was also the first time ever that I ran the (weaker) painted hatch. Up until that run I only used the reinforced Kevlar hatch as a caution.

    Running slower with the boat made me more comfortable (read: reckless) with it. A friend was flying a 70-80mph plane overhead with a camera facing down at the boat, and I would wait for him to get ahead, then catch up and blow by. I was making such long runs across the lake that I couldn't really see the water conditions when it was far away, and as my wakes stacked up, I ended up getting hit from the side with waves that I never saw. That boat could have handled 9/10 100mph crashes, but unfortunately it got NO air time, and dispersed all of it's energy in one fatal blow. It was just a perfect hit, on a not-so-perfect day.

    SO...
    The moral of the story is this:
    DONT RUN IT BELOW 100MPH! It's dangerous!

        @keith. Lol. I'm only bringging 8 and maybe 9 s for it so it'll stay well under 100 tomorrow. I've run it twice under so I guess I do have you beat there.

        @ club members. I'm bring the 135 and the 47 promise which I've decided to sell. So if anyone's interested let me know.

              Man for as bumpy as I thought itd be out there today, it really glassed out nice. Had I not had to leave early and still only showed up with big boats I woulda been a little disappointed. Great water.

              @ Keith, I ran her on 8 and 9. Ran cooler I guess due to efficiency on 9S by an average of about 6 degrees. Well under the 100 mph mark but ran beautifully. Id guess in the 70 ballpark. Its hard to judge a big boat when you haven't ran that size much.

                @Scott; Well I made it but you were already gone. (about 10:30) I'll give you a call about the Shocker hull.

                      Thank you Bill for the video (Video can be seen in todays run day report)

                      I did my battery recharge when I got home.
                      Total Run time 1:30 min.
                      4750 mAH
                      average AMP draw = 192 AMP's

                      On the 6 lap run I ran a little wide.
                      6 lap run 83 seconds with a top speed of 55.4 MPH
                      NAMBA record for N2 Sport Hydro is 92.65 sec.
                      NAMBA record for N2 Hydro (rigger) is 87.03 sec.
                      So all in all I am very happy with it.
