Congrats! That is AWESOME!
I would really like to build a recreational electric hydro that would run 30-60 mph. Any pointers or setup info you can give would be appreciated. What Hull and motor were you running, if you don't mind me asking?

It is a modified 48 volt brushed motor from a forklift used to power the hydraulics, rated at about 15hp. We ran a Zilla speed control and put 140 volts and 700 amps to it from 42 Lithium Polymer batteries. Composite glass honeycomb boat I built. I think if you built a very lightweight boat had 12x 12v lead acid batteries and a similar motor 30 to 70mph is possible depending on how much run time you want.
