Best motor/esc combo for my application
 

What would be the best motor/esc combo for a 66" fiberglass lobster boat? Doesnt need to go fast, but a nice cruising speed would be nice.

That's a big boat! Details on the prop size, drive type (direct or geared) will come into play when picking your motor and ESC. Is this a boat you've built already or are you still in the planning stages?

direct drive, im still looking into props, going to be buying the kit soon, so still in the planning stages

Hi,

You would probably be better served with a geared motor. You can toy with gear ratios for your particular application to find the best combination. A direct drive will most likely not be the most efficient motor for that boat.

Hope that helps.
