Status: offline 		That seems like to much for that size boat. What size prop does that system go with?

Status: offline 		Im looking at it this way. That system requires a large prop, probably no less then 10 to 11" to produce that amount of thrust. He's going to have to place his motor high which will affect his turning. Now I could be wrong but the electric motors I have that spin 9 and 10 inch props dont produce that much thrust and one of them is a 1700/kv motor. So based on that Im guessing its going to be a larger prop which might be as wide or wider then his deck.
