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.

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.

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