i know the 2100kv motor was recommended but there is no stock in the u s will the 2200kv work as good and still run as fast thanks

ok got the 2200kv motor in today hope it will work ok, need a good motor mount for it any help would be great. and will the change in motor size mean a different prop

Thanks for your informative build process updates, I'm just starting to get into boats and will be building one in the next few months, I'm in the research stage. I picked up a 27" fiberglass hull of unknown origin. I also plan on using a stinger.

A 3974 motor (from what I can tell from the picture), will have a lot more power than the 3665 motor recommended on the first page.
With the higher KV rating, which isn't that much higher IMO, you'll end up with slightly higher RPMs.
The net result should be the ability to run a larger prop than the previous motor :D But you could still start out with the recommended prop and grab another when that's not quite fast enough, there really isn't that great a difference in RPMs.

Someone with more experience can probably chime in with a more detailed explanation.

i have six kids and 3 grand kids might have to wait till after xmas to get more.

How many more kids did you get? Not sure why you would want more but.......

Oh, and how is the boat coming along? Did you ever finish it?

An x440 or so would be a good starting prop and work up from there. Get a few plastic ones starting around 38mm and working up to 45mm and see what works best. Then buy a metal one in that size.

Cheers
