Is this the 25 or 30cc motor?

Would love to know more details on the build.
Length width and prop choice!

Status: offline 		22CC mac pull start. 16X9 pusher prop. hull is fiberglass with a thin fiberglass top and some 1/4" lanau stringers. structure and rudders are just made of  2 pieces of .063 aluminum and the cage is also aluminum. radio is a flysky 2.4 GHZ. not sure of speed yet. but it runs very well on dry grass. i like running in the water better. i will take better videos once i get it painted. my next one will not be a flat deck. and wont be as heavy either. this was my first attempt and i think it runs really well. next one can only be better.

Status: offline 		It was recommended to me to run a 13" prop when I was asking for help get my plans together for the one I will build eventually.
I do not know much about props myself.
