Just ran the boat yesterday (predator) at the Marine challenge event. Only had 1 day of testing, but went to the event, did 15 laps in 5 minutes, and won the event. 
. I was using a stock 27 turn motor that you could get for about £5. It was slower than I wanted, the cooling didn't work, so the motor was smoking, but it did what I needed it to do, and it did the job well. Give it a go. 1 piece of advice, the solinger hardware really isn't actually that good for a rigger.

5 minutes is a long time to run a rigger. Congrats!
One questions though. What is wrong with the Solinger Rigger Hardware?

im about ready to build up the boat and now i definately need advise on hardware. octura stuff i have used with success but do i want 1/8 stub with prop or 3/16. somewhere down the line i may run 8 cells and a brushless so i definatly want 3/16 drive cable. not only does octura hardware work its also the cheapest with parts available every where.
