Watched the video. Looking pretty good for first run. You may want to slow the transit time down or shallow up the end points on the rudder. That hard turning, carving may get you into trouble real fast. Plus if it hooks and spins out or blows off the water? You could hurt the engine from a hydraulic. 18,000 rpm plus when running is not uncommon for us in boats. Some hulls will run more rpm as well as the engines.
You also can play with strut height and angle to help with the handling of it. Height I use for rpm and the strut angle for ride attitude. It a learning curve but go slow and make small adjustments and a whole bunch of different ones at once. Go too big of a prop because people always think bigger is better.. Not true. A bigger prop if it can't pull it is useless because you are lifting the surface area of the blade out of the water trying to make it run the big prop. A smaller one buried deeper can make you go faster because more surface area in the water for it to push with. This is the forward thrust. It make look impressive with big tall rooster tails out the back. But keep in mind you are giving up forward thrust which is speed.
