I give it an 8.5, because no bits came off it.
That’s a fast boat .How fast do you think you are traveling?

I did have the fuel tank pop off. As for speed? I would rather not say. It's easy to THINK you are going faster than actually having proof of it. I'll put a gps on it soon.

Some of you have asked for speed and now I got some proof. It set a record for it's class at 65.1 mph. I'm hoping for 80mph or close to it when I can find onger running room.

I am reviving this thread because I have a few questions. Since RCAW is no more, I hope Andy sees this.

Andy - I have a .56LX (Fully Piped) I'll be setting up to run on a boat soon. In another thread I'd seen you posted your .60 was turning 21,000rpm. What prop were you using to achieve that? Also, what was the AUW of your 65mph SI3 60-series?

I'm here! Thinking it was a 10 x 6? Boat all wet was 6 lbs. if I'm remembering correctly. If you're going for speed PM me your email and I'll give you a few pointers.

I believe Chris is on Facebook. I'd send him a message through Facebook unless Andy or Crispy have his email address. I do not.
