Looks like you are no stranger to Hi Po boats. With a light load you could run 100 MPH when you have everything dialed in. I would start at 1/4" below pad to get feel of the boat and get some seat time. Then lift motor 1/8" at a time to get max safe speed. Don't forget that when you have people riding with you , drop motor 1/4" to 1/2" lower to be safe.

Good luck !!!
