Zelos 36 Twin stock 76.3 & 77mph speeds
First run after the prop swap. Everything else on the boat is 100% all stock. The Dynamite GPS logger clocked it at 77.05 mph (124 km/h) and the Garmin clocked it at 76.3 mph on the same run.

Updated speeds with stock setup 80.77mph (130kmh).
I had to give the Z a little loving today and I had a couple of pretty good test runs with my new props from Chris (Dasboata). On this run the motor mount bolt came loose and caused the flex to bind up and rub with the tight Teflon liner and caused the ESC to go into thermal shutdown, so I had to limp back to the shore with only full power to one motor. Everything appears ok except the flex. The top recorded speed on this run was 80.77mph (130kmh). Also a BIG THANKS to my "Propsmith" (Chris) again for another AWESOME set of blades!

3831 equipped stock Zelos hits 88.23mph (142kmh)
Here is the video of my Top speed run of 88.23mph (142kmh) with the NEW Dynamite 3831 Zelos twin motors. This was my first run with the new motors and I flipped on my second pass coming back into a slight wind at around 70mph. I have attached photos of the GPS logger software details at the end of the video and you can see that I hit my top speed of 88.23mph (142kmh) about ¾ the way on my first pass so this proves this boats capabilities with the new motors. Also, I believe from slowing down and stopping so quickly at the end of my first pass all the “water drag force” forced my left drive to move up significantly out of adjustment and helped cause the flip on the way back. My backup run after the flip (on struts out of adjustment on the same battery charge) was 85.12mph (137kmh). The highest temps I saw over my first test which was two or three passes each were 104° on the ESC & 106° on the motors (the ambient temp was around 68°). Last but least thanks to Chris Hoffmann (Dasboata) for the Awesome set of ABC props!

dasboata 1715 prop test (85mph)
Running some Awesome dasboata 1715's this time.....If I can work in a full pass I think they will be close to 90mph and rival my best run with the 1716's.
