Walt I should loan you my 10S rigger. LOL!!Terry,You guys are so PC sometimes. Walt's a smart guy. Just tell him. hahaha
A 1515/1y is way to hot for a 6s boat. Unless you're making SAW passes with a SAW friendly boat. Not many passes in a row either. It's going to heat quickly.
If Andy's speed calculation is close (sounds about right to me) the UL1 will take flight. It's not going to be real happy past 60. At 80+?.................upon re-connection with earths surface it will become 1000 tiny little pieces.
I know the 15151y is to much motor for the UL 1 but have used it for the last year with 3Sin parallel and can run about 52 -55 mph was just trying to faster as we race Electric boats in our condo's small pond and so far I have only been beat by a Traxxas v Hull running 3S in series once, and if I can get about 5mph I will win again, O by the way there are no rules, race what you bring, but no nitro or gas because of the noise. It is a drivers race course because the pond is not very big, I can open up the boat on the front and back of the course. We race the last Fri of every month but can practice anytime, the whole park turns out for this party, and betting is allowed, every time I win the guy who has won the money gives me a bottle of GOOD wine.

P S You are correct about the boat breaking up when it crashes as it now is held togather with epoxy and tape with about 2 oz of lead on the tip of each sponson, I also have a back up U L 1 when this one can no longer stay togather.
Seriously though ditch the UL-1, you've exceeded it's capabilities. You like to build with wood right? Get one of Mike's (ML Boatworks) sport hydros- http://mlboatworksrc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_42&products_id=140
I built one for Shelly and it's a little rocket and corners like it's on rails. These kits go together SUPER easy, the hardest part is waiting for the epoxy to cure.
