Need help choosing a motor
I posted this same question on another forum and got very little help.
I am at the point in my build of a Vic Smeed designed boat called the Remora where I need to start looking into getting a motor/speed control/prop for her. The hull framing is finished and I am about 1/2 through putting the skin on the hull. By the plans she should have been 30" but I screwed up the printing and shes closer to 40" by about 14" wide. Vic spec'd her for a 45mm prop, but I figure since she's a bit bigger I'll get a bit bigger prop. The problem is I have never built or ran or equipped a boat before. I also do not know what to expect for performance from this hull, especially as it is my first build.
So I am looking for advice as to what size brushless motor, speed control, and prop (i'm thinking 1/3 larger than 45 so 58mm). I definitely do not expect race boat speeds, but would like to see her move with a fair bit of speed.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
