Default RE: Speed Boat Project

Hi Kyle,

What you design, depends largely on the waterconditions this race is run on.

If it's a pond with flat water, go for a rigger, the fastest electric driven design available, tricky to set up and needs a bit of experience to run.

If the conditions are choppy, go for a V-hull, less fast, but drivable in choppy conditions.

If the conditions are in between, a catamaran might be an option.

The restriction to 7,5V (7,5? = 5 nonrechargeable batteries?) needs some careful prop & motorchoice and battery selection (C-cells, D-cells, penlights or what?)

What's the thickness and weight of your building material?

Please give us more information so we can give better advice.

Regards, Jan.
