All of the hardware is aluminum, no composite stuff at all. It's all from the Proboat hydroplane offered by Horizon Hobby. Top notch stuff all the way around. That particular boat, with a simple prop change, will touch 100 mph. There are several videos on Youtube where they are shown doing that.
So, no, power is not a problem. Or wait - yes, it is. This thing is vastly over powered for its design. There is a guy on Youtube with the same boat, similarly powered, and he has one hell of a time with it. First time he punches it, it just stands on the prop and back flips. He winds up having to really, really ease into it, but he still flips it at speed several times. It's pretty worrying to watch.
