50" apache power

[skidooguymxz550]

ok heres the deal, i had a order placed for a 39" dragon lady but i got word from chrise fine that he canceled the order because it was out of stock. so now i'm back in the hull market.

would it be feasable to power a 50" apache with twin 14xls or kb45's on 20 cells each and still see decent speeds?

thanks

how bout a triple???

[skidooguymxz550]

then a shuclze 40-160 and a big lehner would be cheaper

The only limits are the depths of your pockets.

Yo man order the Big Jolly Motor. Why bounce around with mono when you can blast through the chop in a big bad ass CAT!!!!!

then i'm a dried up lake


i want to know if two 14xl's or kb45's with two drives on 20 cells each will power the boat to the high 30's low 40's realiably


i know the standard setups but thats out of the question and i really want a apache

[SJFE]

I gota be honnest. Powering a huge scale hull like that is going to take more than a Feigao, KB or Nimh's can deliver you. What you are talking about here will take close to 2G's maybe close to 3 to make happen. I maybe mistaken here..But I don't think so. Sorry to rain on your paraid.

Yeah, it will take some cash to power that unit reliably.

thank you guys. ya'll read two of everthing right. it just seemed like that if one kb45 could power a 40" boat then 2 could power a 50" boat. remember 20 cells each. 40cells seems like a good amount.

you people are the experts though so i respect your opinions and probally will stick to them

I have seen up to 40" boats powered by twin neu motors powered by 48 cells. that has been the top extreme limits to my knowledge

i saw a 50" apache on rum runners running a lehner on 40cells in the mid forties

[Doug Smock]

You could get it done. I just don't know how happy you would be when it's all said and done.

Yes you did!!

It was a lehner 3080. This motor alone is $750-$850! All custom motor mount and a big Shultz that would run you another 500......... Then about a 1000 in lipo!! And we havent even gotten the hull or hardware yet!! Big Bucks to be spent on BIG Boats!!
