Never used that motor, at 3650 it might be on the small side for a apparition though. It would be working very hard in a 30"+ cat. Try a 540xl type motor or the leopard 4074. Actually a leopard in that hull of yours on 4s might rip.

I have a XL motor for sale in the swap shop http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...620#post207620

Can you get a 74mm motor in the hull

Hi crystalcearvisual.
Yep. I've had the 8Xl in mine pushing it to over 50mph on an X440/3 prop with 4s.

I think you'll find that diesel is right. The 50mm motors are a bit small for a cat this size.

Cheers.

NOZ69R,

here's a 56mm version of the motor you posted, this would be good on 4s if you are wanting to go the bargain route.
