Well I finally got my Force 22 together and took it out for it's first run today. The boat porpoises(sp?) like all hell and I wasn't able to get past about 1/3 throttle. Just wanted to post a couple pics of it sitting in the water. I still have some detail painting to do, and have decided what type of accents to paint yet but here she is. I'll get a small vid up later.

Can you shift the batteries forward? Or maybe put some weight in the front of the boat. This will help fight against the porposing. Shifting the batteries is preferable to adding weight. You can also ad trim fins but it will slow the boat down. Also you can adjust the outboard to change the characteristics of the boat.

I've tried adjusting the COG and triming the motor down. Didn't work, I'm going to get a set of trim tabs cause it's also showing signs of some major torque roll. I'm think about buying the combination turn fin/ trim tabs on Offshoreelectrics.com. I doesn't matter right now though, cause I got a peice of fishing string hung in my prop and burned up my esc and one 8 cell pack. I can't find any 6-10 cell esc's right now so it's gonna have to sit on the shelf until someone stocks up again.
