Just a few weeks of season left. I run like this and send them in later. Try and get a couple hundred more Rpms.

Weight is the biggest hinderance to speed. Ditch the family, pull the carpet, store the anchors at home. Drink the beer early and empty it into the lake. Take only you and your life jacket. Go as sun sets so it is coolest. Open window and close storage door. Pull the plugs so they don't have water sitting. Ditch the second battery.

Ok, you get the idea, lol
Rpms will stay the same but speed will increase.
 
I do have a bunch of stereo stuff. 5 batteries 3 amps 2 subs. That might slow it down a little.

I'll bet the basketball goal really hurts the top speed. But probably a lot of fun at the lake.:)

I do actually have the one that suction cups to the side of the boat too!

We could always buy another Exciter if we really wanted to go fast.
 
Took the Solas off again and put the stock props back on. Going to send them in and try and get that last couple hundred Rpms.
Getting faster at swapping. Only took 30 min this time
