What do yo think of these props for the following set-up?

MOTOR: TP 4050 1160kv
ESC: 2s-8s 240amp by fightercat
HUll: Motley Crew


Props: Prather SS Prop S-255

You think they are too "big" for that set-up?

I'm not familiar with that motor and don't know what batteries you'll be running but 70+mm props are WAY big for that size hull. You usually find them in 45 inch gas boats. My guess is the boat would handle terribly. Plus those props are only made for 1/4 inch prop shafts. You'll want the RPM about 30k unloaded (+/- a couple hundred) and a prop size in the 40's
