    Cheetah ran 85mph today on 7s with a blow over so it doesnt count. here is a video of a 7s 79.4 mph run today. I did have to shut it down prematurely due to crosswind and veering off. dasboata sent me a couple of props. they are between 6 and 10mph faster than the adequate M447. fastest 7s run before today was 74mph. I suspect
    in the rigjt conditions this cheetah will run in the 90s on 8s. too windy today.

    Ya know the split second when it comes out of the water it will accelerate about 5mph then start slowing down or so I've been told. But it's running great reguardless, keep on testin'

    Keith sent me a video from a German guy running his boat. Had a go pro in the boat focused on the gps. You can tell when the boat lifted off and at that point it gained 10kph instantly which is 6.2mph. So 85 - 6.2mph = 79.8 which is almost dead nuts with your 79.4mph run. Nothing bad at all nevertheless. That prop that Dasboata did for you definatly picked it up. Keep tweaking and you'll get over 80 on 7s. It's got it in it. This is basically the same thing I experienced when I switched over to abc. I was running the same speeds with one less cell. Pretty awesome!

    Good job! I'm sure there's more there. You didn't have the best of conditions on that run..

    I never thought I'd see a cheetah go this fast, much less one that I built! Impressive and it looks like it still has more left in it.

    Travis is very humble but hasn't been wrong on getting this boat where it is. while these are clearly not trap records for this hull, it's
    pretty amazing.
