6s LiPo on a 1521/1D is way too much voltage for that motor. At over 60 000 RPM, magnets can be tossed. Using a lifter prop on a cat type hull will cause it to bounce severely leading to a boat that handles like garbage.

I don't believe this hull is over powered, but I do believe the wrong setup is being used. Wrong motor and wrong prop.

Everything I said is happening in that hull. The motor is revving far too much in my opinion. The boat bounces like a kangaroo at slow speeds and continues to bounce at high speed.

The hull looks a lot smaller than I thought it was. I don't know the specs, maybe 85cm? I thought this hull was closer to 40" - 100cm

This is not a setup that you can run for a minute or more. You can only make 2 or 3 passes and the boat must be brought back in - SAW boat.
