Dumas sk daddle 2 27 inch
 

Hello guys I am new here. I have a Dumas sk daddle 2 that I never got to finish. I got the boat as a kit in 96 and built it with my dad. We finished the kit but never painted it. I bought a nitro motor a radio and hardware but never installed it. Well this is the year I am gonna finish my projects and this is next on the list. I have decided on going brushless instead of nitro so I am looking at purchasing the hardware over again. I was looking at the tacon. 3660-540l motor. It's the 1800 kv model 36x60. I am hoping thi motor is a good choice as the reviews for these seem to be good. I have seen some posts on the sk daddle and it said for they 27 inch model a 36x50 should be enough. I am not looking for a speed demon because I know the hull has its limitations. I was thinking of a subsurface strut and rudder combo with a flex shaft. And water pick up for cooling. I am open to suggestion on motor selection if this does not fit the bill. The next question is what prop to use and what amp esc. I am planning on running this on 4 s if that helps. Again I am a new when it comes to setting this up and brushless technology. Thanks again guys for all your knowledge and suggestions.
Thanks adam

Just some suggestions as nobody also has chimed in, I think it would look cool and help with fine tuning to put on 4 trim tabs 2 on each side for a scale look. amd like you said I'd run a flex line out the bottom with an in line rudder.
This should give you plenty of room to work with

I just got back on this forum after a few years and used to seem like the whole first page of threads were in the last month or so, seems dead nowadays. Didn't notice it was two months ago
