I need help finding the best electric outboard motor for my RC boat.
Hi Everyone
I need advice finding the right RC electric outboard motor for my RC boat. My boat is 2ft x 9in, it is a 1/6th scale copy of a WW2 M-1 Wooden Attack Boat, made of 1/4 thick 2ft x 4ft birch plywood. Got very lucky when I decided to make this boat, found and bought original copy of M-1 plans on ebay |
I don't know of anyplace that makes and outboard the size you would need for a boat that small. Is there any more information you could give us or a link to a picture of a full sized boat?

Made for Engineer Units and Combat regiments, replaced by the M-2, both the M-1 and M-2 could be rowed or outfitted with a 50mp outboard motor, the M-1 could carry 9 guys + ammo or 8 guys + 50cal heavy machine gun + ammo. You can't find any pics of the M-1 Assault boat online, but I have 2 pics in a book I have that I will have to take a pic of to show you on this site. Also, I rechecked my measurements for my boat, I am a bit off. Boat will be 2ft L x 9 1/2 W. This is my first time building a boat and it is to be pulled behind my Roc Hobby 1/6th scale WW2 Willys Jeep, I will have to invent a trailer for it, because these boats were stacked one inside the other and carried on the back of a 1 1/2 ton truck. Size the M-1 Assault Bout ---13ft -4in long 5ft-1/2 wide 200 pounds |
You just filled in a lot of holes. I don't know of anyplace that sells anything like you're asking about. You could try these two but the odds are against it
