This is a much more stable version. Just put her at 20% throttle with the trim all the way down, pull back on the stuck, and get her out of the water a little, and then just kick it. Cruising speed is about 955mph. Not too bad for a boat with no mods except a more powerful engine. Not too fuel efficient but enough for a decent cruise. Don’t expect to turn too well, (or at all), because the rudder barely does any turning. Still haven’t found out a stable way to turn skimming across the water at 1000mph. Tried some counter steering ideas but none worked. Feel free to add your idea for a rudder that wont make it flip. I’m curious
