So i made this hull from a sterlite tubaware container. Its 27 in. X 9 in. Im questioning what motor set up to use considering the fact im poor and my wife disapproves of me getting a brushless system. I have 10 380 size motors and already rewound one to 10 turns to make it faster. And i also have a 14 turn 550 motor. The prop im going to use are the two ones off the villain ex. Now my question should i use dual or single props?

A single motor will simplify the battery placement; eg. one on each side. Do you want speed or just put-put arround?  Nice construction, what glue did you use?

Lol thanks, i melted it together with a soldering iron took some time still going to do some smoothing out later. i do want it to be fast and i do have the villain ex props just not sure how well a 380 size motor will turn them. Im cheap and still waiting on my chinese brushed esc to get here so might give me some time to pick up another 550 motor and larger props. ya on second thought im definitely going to have to find another 550...

I would stuff it full of foam before going any further.

Not bad idea not too worried about it sinking to the river i go to but I could melt the two front sides of the boat shut with out degrading the beauty of my crystal clear creation. I will upload a video after the first run hopefully it flies
