Default OS 46VRM in My Prather 40" V Hull

I have busted out my old Nitro V hull from way back when. I joined a new RC Airfield that has a Lake ,Car Track and 2 intersecting runways. So I am dusting off my Prather V hull with The OS 46 VRM and going to try and get her up and running again. I used to run 50% Nitro in it but I am going to use the 15% that I use for my Planes now, Do you think It will run as good or will it be a real big differance?

Might need some adjustment of the pipe length and prop size!

I'd stick with the higher nitro. The boat's already set up for it so why change?

I'd run 20% and make sure you have at least 18% oil as there is alot of load on boat engines I tried 30% hello fuel that had 19% oil in my dynamite .32 and it seemed to like it tuned easy and ran strong I didn't get in enough runs to say that's what I run from now on but it was alot cheaper than what I had been running car fuel that I added oil too

I tried to use 30% heli with 24% lube in a brand new Nova Rossi 21. Don't know if it was running too rich, not broken in well enough or too low of nitro, just didn't really want to run.

I decided to get rid of the OS 46 VRM in favor of Gasoline, If anyone wants it PM me. 100 bucks + shipping and it's yours, Pipe and muffler included.
