Default 80MPH V Hull

Here is the video which hooked me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAKXXv5QgP0

So now I am going to attempt 80MPH in a V, just a little smaller than the hull in the video.

What V hull would you recommend for this? I am looking at the Aeromarine Titan 33 as my first choice.

What about batteries?

I am considering Thunder Power High Performance series batteries, the 4450mah 6S2P. I would use two of these packs in a series for 12S2P. I think that sounds about right to get this hull to 80MPH. I will worry about the motor once I figure out a current source.

Concern I have is effect of the weight, at 676g x 2, that is 3lbs in battery weight. I don't think it will be too much, just wondering how you feel using that weight in the Titan 33 will react.

I am open to suggestions, as I want to get the hull ordered and start the project.

Thanks
