Hi all,
I have a 40" deep vee hull that had a Zenoha gas engine in it . At this point the engine and all hardware were sold and now I am in the process of converting to electric. I could use some help with motor size and ECS and hardware as everything will be new in this hull. I could use some help with selecting a motor, ecs and somegood hardware for the conversion as I am familar with lipos and and thier usesI have no idea how to select a motor for this application as well as what hardware should be used. Thanks guys for any imput on this project and lets build a fast electric boat.

My conversion experience is limited but I have found reliable information here,,,

Bear i mind you did not specify if this was a sport or race project. Knowing your goals will help others better help with this project. I'm in fwiw. madgadget[8D]

This project will lend itself to sport, afterI familliarise myself with the whole electric aspect I might go with a cat hull ,who knows. Thanks for the links as I have much to learn.</p>

you can get away with a Castle 1717 motor on 6s with a Turningy 180 esc
should have low to mid 50s

Sounds good how about a hardware setup what would you recomend?

Thanks for the info. tons of great info on there. I'm sure this boat will be fun to get started in electrics with. Thanks again
