M645, Seaking 180, Leo 4082/1600kv, 3s2s, custom offset rudder. Still babying the turns, and I think I'll need to go paralell 6s, especially with a high pitch prop, seems like a lot of load. GPS is on it's way, but any speed guesstimates or setup input is welcome! Also, could somebody lmk if the sound is coming through in this vid? I don't get any, but my computer is on the fritz......

That was my guess!

I'll go 57.1, just to give you some room.

Got my GPS(Garmin Forerunner 201) today, tested it against my truck speedo the whole way to the pond and it seems to be on the money. First run in this boat had 66.1mph, second run had 65.4mph. I guess my videos do make it look slow, maybe it's the size of the pond or something........
My UL-1 with s/b/p Grim 40x57(3) had just over 45mph, Stilletto with UL-1 motor, x440(3) had 41.8.
Overall I am pleased with the results, and now have real data to tune from.

That was my guess!

I'll go 57.1, just to give you some room.

Wow, I was way off! They always look slower in video...watching this one again though, I can definitely believe 66mph. It looks like it's moving along pretty well. Nice work!
