Looks great. What prop are you using? If it can run that fast in those conditions without flipping that's very impressive. Also it would be interesting to know how that motor stands up to getting wet. I've heard that brushless motors are not ideal for outboards as they are not good with water.

I tried a X440-3, X442 and it seemed to go best on a M445. I had to grind a few thousands of an inch of the cavatation plate to allow clearance for the M445. I have the motor cover sealed up and so far the motor has stayed dry. The boat rides on the last 1/3 of the hull the way I have it trimmed now. I want to try different trims to see how it changes things. Before I started this project I read everything I could find on the TS2 and my boat doesn't seem to suffer from the bouncing the nito powered owners talk about. Maybe the extra weight of the batteries settles it down. A real brushless motor and speed control would make this boat just fly.
