Wow, thanks for all the info guys. I bought the hull finsihed and never run from a guy for $50 bucks that was unloading some of his R/C stuff. I didn't think to ask him any info on it other than if it floats, LOL.
As for the tips being modified, they were. Twice by me after some minor shore contact. As of this past weekend the tips are now black. My friend bought a used MRP Miss Bud and while running itI got cought looking at it while my tunnel speared the shore.
As for the X440 3 bladed prop. I didn't like it. It seemed to go a bit slower, skip a bit on the straight aways and drop the transom lower into the water on the turns. Even after trying different angles and hieghts on the outboard.
I'm back to the X440 2 blade and she runs great. I also tried a Prather 215 2 blade prop without noticing any differences compared to the X440 2 blade.
