fo sho!

Battery turned out to be my neglect to put a charge on it. I load tested it....ok. I put a light on the negative side to see if the was a draw.....there wasnt. Pulled out the manual and tested the stator...just fine. What I can figure is the small lake where I been testing requires me to run the trim more than normal (especially when I was just doing drag runs back and forth) cruised a few laps without jogging trim and watched the volts come right up

congradulations! another fast stream. The srx props seem to be the standard for these hulls. is it stock or has the prop been worked? DAH propellors are supposed to do great work to these.
