RE: Just an Idea

I have no clue what specs this motor has. I need to know can diameter, length and most importantly kv.

RE: Just an Idea
There is no difference between car and boat motors. That doesn't mean it will work. The questions you have not answered will determine if it will work or not.
What is the physical dimensions of the motor? THe can diameter in mm and the length in mm. Also, what is the rated Kv of this motor.
I understand it will physically fit in your hull, otherwise why would you ask?

Man, Taylor that was sharp ![:@]
It is a pretty safe bet that a 6-cell rigger will not be 75" long, 20-26" maybe.
I agree that the hardware choice will alter performance particularly the prop.
I have proven that you do not need expensive high tech hardware to get speed, you have seen the thread on my balsa cat with the wooden strut spar.
As a positive note to the author of this thread.
50 krpm will spin a 30mm prop like Ryan says.
Given the specs that Detox provided we can see that this is a typical car motor size, so it will go.
To All in.
If you post a pic or two of your boat and some of the basic specs there are many people here who are keen to help.
I am in the process of developing a new 6-cell rigger for my fleet, so will watch with interest and help where I can.
