this boat you are building is great man!!! im a boat builder (fullsize) and id love my big speed boat to have that paint job(: and well since you guys are talkin about motors-boats-propsize and stuff - does anyone know if a stock 1880 kv motor from a brushless f27c stryker would work in a very light boat with a home made surface drive? 11.1v 2200 mha 30c batt the boat is an old air boat that tower hobbies used to sell.
