What kind of speed are you looking for? EDFs produce limited thrust compared to an air prop, and vee hulls have a lot of drag. Depending on the speed you want, a 90 mm fan on 6S to 8S would be a place to start. Minimum 5000 mAh packs and 150 amp ESC. Adding lifting strakes to the hull will help to lift it out of the water, reducing drag and increasing speed. Low weight is your friend. Good luck!
