Any suggestions for motor mount for the 1717 castle?

Oh yeah there you go. I couldn't remember who else but yeah. This guy.
The 1717 would be the perfect affordable yet reliable overpower of this hull. I would opt for it over the 1527

For sure, deffinetly more power than it needs. I'm gonna set mine up for P Mono, have to take about 3/4" off the nose and I think I'm going to use a TP 4060 1870kv or 4070 1770kv I have both

Think I'm gonna follow the advice and go withy the 1521. What setup tho? 1.5d 1800 kv? Or? Sorry really noob with the boat setups, 8 or 5 mm?

The 1521 is a good choice for this boat if you're going to run on 4s then I'd go with the 1.5d and you might as well get the 8mm shaft. It'll be just about bullet proof that way.

The 1.5 d would be a good choice and a 448 maybe 450 prop on 4s.
The 1800kv also leaves room to go up to 5s if you want and move to a 445 or 447 prop

Guys, if you aren't using west systems 105, I highly recommend it. I've used zpoxy for years and never has it been this easy and good looking....

When you did two layers of 3k, do you let first layer dry or can you do the second right after the first? I did read Bradley's tutorial but not sure about the process of two layers. Thanks again! 👍

Both at the same time. No dry time
