As for the lipo, that's not really for speed records. Especially with that motor.

I was saying that the boat will like to run more out of the water (lipo's weigh less) and you would probably get more runtime. Seeing as this is a sport boat, that seems like a good idea.

I'm not sure how the SxS packs will do, ideally you would have 3 cells on the bottom of each sponson, almost touching the transom to move the CG back to where it needs to be, instead of the stock location.
