Hi all,

I decided its time to bring my hobby back to the ground after losing so very many dollars in the air this summer....but I love the sound of EDF's so hoping to find the best of both worlds, and maybe even have something I can use in the snow.

So, where I need help is figuring out how much thrust I'll need to power the boat I'd like to start with. This is not going to be your typical air boat, so my apologies for posting here to start, but I figured this is where the most help/interest would be.

the boat I'd like to use is linked below...

Since its a medium sized boat, I was thinking I could easily make it scream with twin 64mm edf fans. My thoughts were to grab a nacelle like whats linked below, and mount it on the top of the cabin area.

next, since that part is foam, molding it to fit like a glove on top, gluing it down and then using the stock rudder....or perhaps use one similar to an airboats(behind the outgoing air) to steer it, maybe even both.

Do you think that two 64mm edf fans could make that boat go fairly fast? I know I'll never have the power of a true prop in the water, but trying to make something different that might still get me cruising along pretty good.

thoughts?

thanks!!!!
