Default help needed with the nitro dolphin

ok, I am new to the boating world, so I don't have a clue, I'm buying the nitro hammer, the whole set up (does anyone know the speed on it?), but about a week ago, for about 230.00 and a free starter kit, I got the
until here, I've read nothing but great things about it except the lie about speed. Anyone know how I can improve on it, pump it up. Things I can do to make it better? It's stange it costs more than the hammer nitro

Al, there are forums on both boat goin on here, straight answer is nitro hammer stock speed 22-25 mph, dolphin boat just keep away from that claims are not realistic. just suggestion before pumping the boat for speed/power run it first as stock and have the feel and master the craft and mods next will just follow...been running nitro hammer stock is such a fun very cheap maintenance and of course dissappointment and frustrtions occurs though..get ur boat before cold set in.

Max Speed: 55 mph - maybe in the trunk of your car.

I'd love to see 55 mph with my Mod CMB 21 OB on my 30" tunnel.

Do a search on this site and you'll see the horror stories of that............... boat. They start falling apart during the first runs with a huge problem with the hull cracking and the bushings in the lower unit going south in no time. The warranty is a joke.
Too bad that the censor works in here or else I'd really tell you what I think of that thing.[X(]

Well, that's what I'm going to do. Very soon I'll have the nitro hammer, everyone seems to love it, I think a good boat for me. The Dolphin, well, I'll see what it can do.

But I'm looking forward to the nitro Hammer!
