Thank you.. im gunna go to the hobby store tomorrow hopefully and get a prop "suggestions needed", and velcro and this beast is ready to run...

Hobby shops round here know NOTHING about boats. Also, none have sharpened and balanced props available.

Start out with a carbon/plastic prop for testing...............1.4 pitch in the 36-40mm diameter range. Anything larger will cause some unwanted torque steer/roll in a 22" boat.....................dont worry if you think the prop suggestion is "smallish", your boat is like a Ford Focus with a 600hp V8 powerwise.................it'll haull A$$............

and Larry.............love your Avatar, the tractor is cool and the whole idea of a tractor picture on a boat forum is pretty darn funny too!!!

So i got everything tightened and tested the steering and reving.. didnt go full rev. But didnt sound or look like anything was bad. Sounded good. Also, steering works great..

Sounds like you had a successful day Mason.

Buy a couple different sizes of props to try out, also check your temps frequently so you don't blow a motor or fry a battery. Different props put different loads on the motor so you don't want to have too much prop. Looking forward to this little boat launch and fly across a pond!
