With an efficient prop, this can be brought to full scale speed with a total of 28 watts. However, that presupposes that the model was built to scale weight of 55-60 oz. With brushed motors, that means about 35 watts to one motor is all that’s needed for Full scale speed of 7.8-8.0 mph. Multiple motors make it less efficient and runs down the battery faster and makes it less likely that you will get anywhere close to scale weight. The CG is 60-62% measured from the bow. With 1.86:1 gearing a Grauner Speed 400 6 V run at 8.4 V with a single Octura X427 prop is perfect at scale weight. The LiPo may make it harder to get the CG far enough back, compared to the NiMH, but my experience with NiMH was poor, they went bad too quickly. Good luck with your boat.

That's one sweet Fuckin Boat. Looking forward to seeing how she performs during her Sea Trials 🛥️
