RE: power of motor
Hi guys.
Just back from holidays & saw my name thrown in the mix on this thread. Thanks for the kind words Mikeup. So, I feel obliged to add what little I can to try & help.

Firstly, I feel for you with the dispute problems.
Unfortunately, as you've found, the motor is a bit on the small size for 4s in a boat that big & too high a KV for 6s. I've seen it work well in a Genisis cat on 4s with an M445 prop. But your hull is a bit bigger than that.
What is the actual size & brand of the 1360kv motor you've bought? Is it the 5682 size? You've picked a good kv range for that boat on 6s as you'll see in the attached table.
Your Swordfish ESC should be fine on the setup I'm sure. Just don't over prop it.
What props do you have at the moment? Just so we can see what you have to work with.
Where abouts in Oz do you live? If it's in the Brisbane area, we have a few clubs you can join.
Here's a good table for KV & Voltage on motor selection. Archive it for future reference. You'll use it often for motor selection.
Cheers.
Paul.
