    Its been a slow process building this boat. I have built a bracket and mounted the 3 motors to it and attached to the boat. Also have a deck ready to be glassed in, just havnt had enough time in the past few months to do so since fishing season started. Ill post pictures of what i have done as soon as i can get them from my office.
    Need some Wiring and Battery help.
    What i have so far is 3 Turnigy marine 60A ESCs and 3 Turnigy B36-56-06 1800kv motors mounted in the outboards. The batteries will be mounted way up front and the ESCs somewhere in the middle. I need to extend the wiring to connect everything together. What kind and gauge wire should i use to connect everything?
    Also what size batteries should i use to run each motor? I was thinking about a 4s in the 3000-4000mAh size but i dont know what C rating to get?
    I need to make sure things done get to hot under the hatch.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

            That is pretty sweet!!!
            The title for this build is very similar to mine.
            If you are planning on running one batt per esc some 4000mah 30c batts would do great. But I suggest getting some 5000mah batts for longer run times.
            I would suggest putting the batts really far forward so you can get a good cog with all that weight off the back of the boat.

                          very cool. I would put some triangle type brackets inside and on the transom to help keep the transom from flexing.
