I have the miss geico 36 and zelos 36. Maintenance is simple.
If you have glass water to rip it on you'll be able pull some very impressive numbers right out of the box
And I'd buy the splitters so you can run 2 6S or 4 3S...these ec5 plug into your ic3 connectors

If you have boats post your pics @Micha-IN
Lipos can definitely start to cost upwards more than the boat itself😂..graphene batteries seem to be today's hype. Their pricey but I prefer Max Amps lipo brand. But have gensacearespammers and the Spektrum smart batteries as well. I don't have or run too many lipos. Running all stock electronics still. Ive seen my zelos 36 on 8s and looks uncontrollable🤣. I don't have many lipos to compare, but I have had a Spektrum smart battery 💩 out on me already..not even broken in😕

Careful To run 2 6s He needs to run the parallel harness. And for 4 3s batteries he needs to run 2 series harnesses. Don't want him blowing up the ESC and motors by accidentally running 12s .

Congrates on the Miss Gieco 36" . You picked a good boat. Rule of thumb , the drive dogs for your props should be spaced the thickness of your flex shaft from the stingers.

Hope you have figured out how you're going to recover the boat when she flips. It will happen.
 
I have a ski boat , there will be no need for saving me , I've been a water skier and swimmer since I was 3 , I'm not drowning getting my boat ,🤣 hillariouse , after all this chit chat , it's obvious that I will have plenty of questions and learning to do , I'm aware of the needed harnesses , I'll be going with 4 , 3s , is that correct ?
 
I'll post you up a link with everything you'll need.. @1Coopgt is good and familiar with this vessel as well. Read that manual when you get it. I shows the illustrations on wiring of parallel vs series options...the boat will come with harness to run 1 6S or 2 3S. If your not familiar with eword lingo it can get confusing, but we will help anytime.
Just laughing when you said I'm not drowning to get my boat, could definitely see someone drowning to get one. I've swam to save my boats, I live on lake ontario..try to lift and flip a 48" boat full of water while in the water over your head or swimming and dog paddling dragging it back.. Not fun!...been there done that, highly and extremely unrecommended🤣🤣🤣...But I'll be taking my 36's this week. Too much dust on them. And I think I have my gas boat spot on now. Just need the weather to straighten back out for us.
Youll have alot of fun with it after you finally get over staring at how beautiful it is when you unbox it. First thing I started ceramic waxing my boat 😁
