new to 1/8 scale hydroplanes want to use a leopard motor have had good luck with them. what size should i use?

Is this for racing, or sport running? It matters because of racing rules. Running 8S a Leopard 4092/700 Kv or a 5692/730 would work well for general use and give decent run time for most. Other motors and voltages are possible, depends on what you want.

Speed?
Run time?
Budget?

I was thinking more of sport running. For now. Thank you for your reply. How many amp esc would work?

For safety, minimum 200 amps.
