    Catamaran build

    I'm new to OSE, but I'm very interested in building a twin cat. Is there a US retailer for the HOR 32" boat? I know it goes by a few different names. Here's a link to the HOR boat:

    32" HOR Cat hull

    As for power, I'd like to go 45-50 mph but also looking for a run time of 10 minutes or so, not all at full throttle obviously. Can this be achieved through either (2) A3630-1500Kv or (2) A3630-1800Kv from Pro Boat?

    As far as ESC and prop, I'm not sure what exactly to run there yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know there are a lot of different kinds.

    For rudder, I'm looking to run a dual water pickup one in order to run a line from the pickup to ESC to motor for each side. I'm not sure how limiting using a water-cooled ESC might be or how expensive it could be. Again, any suggestions on this setup would be appreciated.

    For batteries I'm looking at using a 5000mAh, 2s, 7.4v battery for each motor/ESC bank.

    I would like to try and run this build for around $400, and I'm not sure how much of a pipe dream that number might be. I'm also willing to try used parts as I know that might help save on the cost of some things.

    I look forward to hearing everyone's opinions on the build and also getting into the build very soon.

            I have a used HOTR hull with fresh paint for sale. It's not posted yet. It's set up for single drive, but can be easily converted to twin. It also has hardware. Pm me for more details. Oh, and its been re inforced too.
