A successful maiden voyage!
The boat motor ran flawless. The esc worked flawless. The water cooling system worked flawless. The boat planed and maneuvered flawless. I am soooo happy with the result!
I used a Graupner 40mm two blade carbon prop. 12 IB4200 cells. After 5 minutes of running I pulled it back in and checked temperatures. Motor was 95-120*F depending on spot. Esc was 110-120*F depending on spot. Batt's were 118*F. Not bad at all. The performance of the boat looked very scale like.
