ok so im am building a new project. well no quite
i need a large electic outboard, to puch a 3 lbs boat at speed, i was thinking a 700 or even 800
i just cant fine one that will suite it !
i want to run 12 -20 cells in this boat
Thanks
the boat is 29 inches long and has a 7 inch beam
and you can put like 20 lbs in that boat with out a problem

the hull is buy boatsnmotion.com, its a very god hull and its fiberglass,if you want a strong hull this one would be it

I want to know how this turns out. Have you tried www.offshoreelectrics.com ?

I'm sure they have what you want.

You might try Tower Hobbies. They sell and Aquacraft electric outboard.I think the model number is EP1.

this is way to small , its a 550 , a 550 cant handel 20 cells or push a 3 lbs boat , but i like top looks of the 800 OB

I know you want an outboard, which is cool, but that's a perfect hull for a jet drive, if youve ever wanted one.

So I guess this doesnt help, but just an observation.

CadillacDTS2001

i have been thorought the thought of a jet drive. and i like the look of a OB better , thanks tho
and plus i dont knwo where i can find a big enof jet drive

Quicksilver

heck graupner makes a drive for glow engines. You can get them as big as you want. If I had that boat I'd get a german made swash-jet drive. Theyre pricey, but theyre the real deal, much better quality than graupner, and they coincidently usually put them in a boat just like yours

I want one so bad.

CadillacDTS2001

that link doesnt work
but thank you
i think i might go jet drive if i can find a good enof one

or a Z drive and make it a scale like 20 foot run about that is just a general boat

Quicksilver

weird..... link works for me. unfortunately it's the only site I can find for that drive, thought there is a forum somewhere.

and actually I think theyre australian.

here's another one http://www.jet-drive.de/ (you have to click the british flag for english)

A z-drive would be cool though, I could see an outboard on that hull, but I dont know if it'll look natural. Just looks like it's begging for an inboard of some type.

here's some good links http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~atong/

If it were me I would go for the 800 at hobby-lobby.com

CadillacDTS2001

same here , i am thinking of a grapuner 800 Z drive tho
i have narrowed it to a 800 Zdrive , 800 OB , or 2, 800 ob's

When I looked at the pics, the first thing I thought of was an old Glastron. Sky blue and dark metallic blue. 350 Chevy/MerCruiser.... I wish I had a pic of my ole' Glastron on hard drive. Can you say "Live and Let Die"? Glastron supplied all the boats for the film. They had a 20' like that one. It had been painted solid black for the movie, though.

Quicksilver

okay, I'm in for the z-drive.

I thought about the twin o/b's, but now I'm thinking that z-drive would look great, but what about twin z-drives. I dont know if it would look out of scale though. either way z-drive(s) would look cool. If I went with multiple o/b's I'd go with triple, but then the boat would be more of a novelty and less functional. It does look like a boat that should have a blown 454 with either a jet or i/o (z-drive). Basically a drag boat or a glastron

here's an example
