Default Air Boat for .40 nitro motor?

What size air boat do I need to go with a GP 40 nitro motor? I would like to be able to run in dry grass so I think I need to "over power" it a little. Thanks; Don

If it's syrofoam, 31x18 is fine. It won't be very fast even if it is made from foam. My kamikaze is 32x18 and weighs 7lbs and I run a 1.20 4-stroke glow on it. Also a .90 SuperTigre and a .60 4-stroke.
