hi,

i got a longer video today. we moved the battery in front of the motor but this made the center of gravity to far forward, so we taped some foam on the front third of the hull so it made a step, to see if it helped with the new CG. we made a longer rudder to help keep it in better control. we added a foam piece on the top of the boat to see if it will self right itself. i think the step and center of gravity made it a little slower, it didnt seem as fast, even so we could still not give full throttle and keep the boat in the water, during the video we hit full throttle a couple times for a second or so, mostly we were throttling it to try and stay in control.

here is the video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_l7QkR3ZfQ
