It's rippin' now! It's nice to have a boat that you actually have to drive instead of being able to always pin it and it still isn't fast enough. Good work. [)]

Thanks, it is a blast. I'm unsure what I want to do next. Temps are cool enough to prop up but I don't know if the boat will stay on the water. Maybe some trim tabs are in order now.

RE: Single motor villain project-now with video
Well, heres the latest video. Using a 45mm prop. I've been trying to wait for a less windy day, all weekend has been pretty windy here. I couldn't wait any longer so I took my chances with the wind The chop was real nice but the wind was pretty strong so I had to go about half throttle in to the wind but down wind/across wind she would fly. Wasn't all glory today though, I had a mishap with a rock and scraped up my new paint! Oh well, least that was all it did.

Well I finally was able to get everything in place. Good weather, no work, and free time for boating.
So heres the lastest vid of the boat, same setup but this time without the wind to slow me down.
