You don't need an 80#, as a 55# works well with that hull, but more power doesn't hurt, if the price is good enough.

My 55 lb, offbrand pushes the 14' Mirro along pretty well and will go a mile without slowing down. Of course it takes a good 15 mins or more to travel that mile. I have an older, but BIG 12V battery, a 27 series if that makes a difference.

You should get more than 1 MPH with a 55#. More like 3 MPH or maybe more.

I think your old battery is what is slowing you down. Check the voltage an hour after charging. If less than 12.7, it's on it's way out, but that being said, sometimes they chug away for a long time at lower voltage.

I run a 55# on my boat, and I just upgraded to the TimeUSB 100AH Lithium, which rests at 13.5V, and she flies. Not sure how fast, as I didn't pay attention, but I end up only running her on speed 3 or 4 out of 10 most of the time.
