Yeah.. Im thinking single drive and basic. If your going to put the $$$ into a larger size twin FE cat, do it w/ a hull a bit more suited for it, and that is proven to handle it.

I posted a thread looking for hull recommendations to match the hardware/electronics.

OK. This guy has enough room for a much larger can and room for some long packs. How about a setup with two 10s long packs?
Just need the HV ESC and a motor w/5mm shaft & 540 mounting holes. Might even be able to change the mount...
Any suggestions on ESC/Motor? (the cheap route, this is a Genesis, not an HPR). =)

"cheap route" was your request. May i throw this out there.............

I've been eyeing this motor, surely at 36x88mm it will move the boat much better than the 540 8XL thats in it stock. You would probably want to run it on 6s though....that would put you right around 30k.

I ran mine for the 4th time today... I cant get enough of this cool boat. Even at 30 its quite enjoyable. But, changes are coming. I think Im going to throw an Etti 150 I have layin around in it and hit it on 4S. I started getting it ready for the swap out tonight but ran out of bullets.Comment

Mine's unwrapped an on the shelf. Neat looking boat. I think I'm going to keep this one "freshwater only" and own the local pond with it. It's about 1/2 mile long and surrounded by trees, so is almost flat even on a really windy day.
What I'd like to do, since this boat has the room, is experiment with an HV setup. HK has the 10s packs and it looks like they will fit in this boat. Since there is quite a bit of extra room in the hull for a larger can motor, this is a good time to work with larger voltage motors!
Since I'm not familiar with HV, I'm looking for suggestions on an inexpensive ESC/Motor setup that will work with 10s, and I can couple it up to a 4mm drive cable relatively easy.
As for speed, I'm thinking I can get 60mph on 10s2p for about 15 minutes. That's the pie in the sky to shoot for. Probably will be much faster...
I am a bit concerned about the extra weight in the boat from 10s and a heavier motor, but it looks long enough to handle it and should be a rocket when done.
