looks too close to the point of no return...bring the trim in a little.
Looks cool like that, but too much wind resistance.
later,
What brand of rc boat is that?

HWYRNR, I use to race 7.5 outboards years ago, the lap cat was always a strong boat, very heavy though, I use to run a hair negitive trim, also try to move everything forward. I ran my battery packs all the way in the nose of the boat, outboards are very ass heavy and will blow over in a heart beat, good luck:cool:
What prop are you running , is that a aftermarket head I see, I use to run a 36" Tristar hull, Aeromarine makes a nice one also.

Skater, It's all stock I got it put together last year after it sat around for about ten years. I built it when I was sixteen and never got it on the lake before some punk stole it and tried to run gas in it. Sheriff recovered it at the boys house about two months later and returned the hull and the motor, everything else was gone. I was so mad all my hard work was down the drain I put it up and hoped it would rott. Didn't happen so I took it out and sanded it down and started all over again. Had to buy new parts for the motor, new Radio, radio box, cowl, everything. Sent the hull to a guy in Oklahoma and he did the paint job. My son and I love playing with it. I dont know what prop is on it I want to say a 235 two blade. Later, Kimo
