Thanks for your comments, Had her first trials today, when you build a boat from a kit especially a fast boat you can be fairly sure of a known performance, as Diva was scratch built I had no idea how she would perform, of course I knew she would float, go ahead and astern, so it came as a pleasing surprise when she came up on the plane and performed better than I had hoped, even in a fairly strong breeze and quite choppy with spray going over her deck inside remained dry, I took two 4000mah lipo's with me but only used one in a one and a half hour session so quite happy with the run time, although she's fast enough for me I may try the next size up prop as I have built in enough room for it, the motor and ESC get barely warm even at full throttle so for the cost of a plastic prop I give it a go, in the photo's she's at half throttle.
