    It is worth it

    Epoxy glass hull, no gelcoat, fairly light boats if I remember the old prathers.

    I have a $45 motor and ESC setup in my 40" scarab that sees low 30's, so I would think 50mph would be reliably possible, see what others propose. If i had to guess, mine takes 2hp to get to 33, so you would need around 4hp (3000 watts) to see 50? But this is out of my league, so just a guess.

    What do others think? You can set it up as a nice scale looking boat, classic deep vee.
