DUDE a plastic prop?????seriously???????im trying to get this guy good advice so he can get some speed out of it....you CAN NOT be seriouse about speed and run a plastic prop..thats for play not for race or speed...they flex to much...all that aluminum hanging on the back adds alot of weight wouldnt it be better to have a small lightweight piece of wood on the bottom with the stuffing tube mounted in it and a small rudder on the back instead of 5 inches of hanging heavy metal??? go read all the threads on here about riggers dont take my word for it look for your self all these people cant be wrong...and I havent said anything they arent going to say.........I have a theorie about why your eelctric rigger runs descent without any rear sponson or ride pad even with all that heavy metal action on back you have save dso much weight with the ellectric motor and battery esc combo it just plain doesnt need as much flotation to get it up..But what would it do If it had just a little extra lift on the back???? you should just play with that and see what happens..your riggers look nice by the way did you build them from plans or a kit??

TRX I picked up a rudder and strut thats perfect for these small electrics from a guy on e bay...joechung I think is the name of his store Ill check and make sure I bought 2 rudders and a strut from him for a 1/2 a powered nitro boat very nice stuff and very resonable as well..also another guy on e bay top secret boats they have realy nice hardware of differant sizes but kind of pricey...Ill go snap a couple pics and post em here for ya...later!!!
