Hi,
I'm looking to put 3no. 1.1 /kg 8cell packs (5800mAh) into the hull. Is this going to be too heavy?

My proposed setup -
Mono hull (1 meter long Shallow - V)
Neu 1527 / 1y brushless motor
8 cell Lipos
Castle Creations 240Amp Hydra Ice ESC
M445 Octura prop (Advised starting prop)

Any advise would be cool. Thanks.

What hull? Some handle weight and speed better than others.
8s and a 1527 are not out of line for a 40" hull, just depends if the hull will stay on the water at speed, most shallow V hulls have a lot of lift built into the design, tend to bounce and hop more than a deep V at speed running a surface drive, we used to run more shallow hulls back when sub surface drive was the norm.
