The ability to adjust the strut to less angle should stop the slight hopping action and squeeze a bit more speed. Good job!

I say "thank you"! Wonder if the prop is coming out of the water causing the hopping. Maybe bending the stuffing tube up a little would fix that. Doesn't matter, it sure gets down the lake nicely.

Hey Nick, glad to see you're still at it! That rigger should fly - I had a blast with mine. Very fast boat for sure. Stay safe, Sdg.

Well, I wouldn't call jet boats fast boats but they sure are fun in creeks and shallow water. That is a good setup you have there - I would put it in a 36-44 inch boat for good speeds.

Wrong sleeve. There are now 28mm, 29mm 30mm motors and it gets more difficult to find the right fit. Hopefully, the next one will fit nicely. If not, maybe an O-ring change will fix it. Last resort...

Sounds like a tight fit on that water jacket! Does it fit without the 'o' rings? You might just need thinner o-rings, I've had that happen before.

I think the max amps is taken running with no load at full rpms. When you require work from it it will draw more, and if it gets in a bind, it will draw even more. That's why they recommend a 35A. On...

It's really a little too high in kv - this isn't a 30K jet drive. Perhaps more important, you'll need a water jacket to fit. An inrunner can build up damaging heat depending on battery condition and...

Those 4s lipos will be fine. In fact, you can get away with a lesser amp esc - a 30A (watercooled) esc will do the trick. And you are right on with the kv rating. I'm sure there are plenty to choose...

Yes, that will work. You'll need a different coupler - the jets' shaft is 2.3mm, your motor shaft is 2mm.
