hey guys,

Iam new to the RC world but have an application which requires some high thrust/low speed jet drive set up with a very low overall profile. Looking to move a model that weighs about 150-200 lbs at about 6-10mph. Model has high drag, on purpose, much like a tug boat. i have found a lot about jet drives-one particular one from Australia claimed 210N or about 47lbs of force, which would be ideal. is this a realistic number? How much thrust do these bigger boats put out if i were to hold them still? I assume there would be some cavitation if the model was not moving at speed...? Also have seen brushless DCmotors which look to spit out 1-2HP. Iwas thinking to couple one of these with a series of 60-70mm props in a tube to add maximum thrust, much like a jet drive but with a series of furbines. or very much like a vertical lift pump for pumping water out of a well.

Well, any help would be appreciated.

Please keep in mind that i am here because a trolling motor/small outboard will not work. Really need a solution with high thrust in a tiny, tiny package.

Thanks for any thoughts.</p>
