hey guys i know that most esc for boats dont have reverse. to my understanding you give up reverse to have more speed on the forward only.
That's not true, an ESC with reverse simply has another set of Fet's for the reverse function, sometimes the reverse is limited to half throttle, but that's to protect the unexperienced boater from sinking his boat by pulling it under in full reverse....

An ESC with reverse is usually intended for boats that run at scale speed and in general can't handle the currents our fast electrics require.

An ESC with reverse for powerboats would be quite expensive, I can't name one off the top off my head, ask Steven at Offshore.

Regards, Jan.
