i think it is a pretty cool hull and you will have lots of fun with it. Do not compare apples to oranges though. the boat you have is a pretty scale MODEL boat. There are some hulls out there that were built for the sole purpose of running fast. So I am not saying if you go to a club lake that there will not be faster boats or ones that handle higher speeds better. But i do think your hull does work pretty good and should be great on a stock motor. Most models weak links are there builders and not the parts. What I am saying In the right hands if it floats there are guys that can make it fast. Might not be me or you but some of the guys racing just spend a lot of time at the lake, Understand what they are seeing and make very little adjustments one at a time. some that you will not even see a difference. but in the end after lots of time on the water those little changes add up. Most guys with RTR type boats are not those guys. So who really knows how good that boat really can be?that crowd I am talking about are the same ones that win almost every time they race. The rest are just guys that follow them and normally try to copy them.So what is most important is to just have fun and do not worry if it is the fastest boat out there or not.
