I am gonna stick with the KB45 i think because they are less expensive. And yea i would make a gearbox, not 3 outdrives. Allthough i have seen it done! Even on pontoon boats.
If i did have three outdrives they would all spin a prop at about the same speed the entire time the boat was moving.
I would run the KB45s on 6s most of the time, I am gonna see how one does in my villain first.
1) great, I think the KB45 motors are good if you have the right volts and setup, otherwise they will pull massive amps..
2) I'm not sure what you ment about the three drives spinning the same all the time??
two outdrives would be work...
3) a KB45 motor on 6s will run much much different in your Villian than in your 47" boat! one cannot compare the performance between the two acurately...
4) what speeds are you after??
this is the most important question for you.. the setup for a 35mph boat is different than a 40mph and again the setup is much much different for a 50mph boat
how fast do you want to go with this boat?
we are behind ya!
