Quick questions. Please help.
Looking to build (scratch) a tug/fishing boat at about 40-43 in. What type/size prop and gear and motor I need to go slow, scale like? Not looking for speed. Thanks.

RE: Quick questions. Please help.
A junkyard is a good place to look for motors. I saw one large ship that used power seat motors to push it along. A deep-cycle battery works nicely in a boat that size plus you might need more weight than that just to get it down to the waterline.
