Default RE: Boat Build- Motor, ESC advice

Plenty of formulae here,  http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-ohm.htm, covering pretty much every combination of calculating whatever is wanted from whichever information is available.  (Not totally accurate for motors because they introduce plenty of their own variables, but near enough)
It is a sad fact that although electricity is fairly simple and logical, most people regard it as incomprehensible black magic, mostly because its invisible.  My comment was brought about because your post read (to me) as if it was promoting the same mistake that has appeared elsewhere many times that "twice the voltage is half the current" without mentioning that that was to get the same power out of differing loads.  Your more recent post mentioning different motors clarifies your intention.  Thanks.
