This is a mobile-friendly high speed hydrofoiling boat. Capable of 110+ m/s, 220+ knots over the water, it is stable (as much as possible) and easy to control. A short Vizzy program is used to manage flaps to help get the boat on and off the foils without crashing down or flipping over. Still, when accelerating use no more than 90% power until the boat is fully on the foils.

Hi, just wondering how you get your props to work and go fast without flipping the craft.

Careful balancing keeps this craft upright, spent a lot of time making sure all the parts are symmetrical. I got the power out of the engines by testing which combination of prop pitch and diameter allows the engines to reach maximum RPM just as the boat reaches max speed. That ended up reducing the thrust (prop efficiency) at low speed enough to stop it flipping over. Took a lot of testing. With some hull, engine, and prop tweaking, this boat can reach 150 m/s but it’s almost uncontrollable.
