    After-market Motor for Proboat 45 ESC?

    Any suggestions for an after-market motor that would suit a Proboat 45 amp ESC.in a 25 inch V hull for a general use sport boat?

      Thanks but was wondering if there were other choices apart from Proboat maybe something from HK or Tacon or similar?
      My thoughts are 45 amps is not much but I understand these ESC's can take a generous 45 amps

        Ammo 2300
        AQ 1800
        540 13L

        The aq 1800 is the best motor out of the ones listed. A 60amp esc is better suited like the aq 60amp, but the sv27r comes with the aq 45amp esc and the pb 45amp esc is better then the aq 45amp esc.. JMHO of course. For your 25" vee something like a Prince hull the 2300 would be pretty good match with that esc. That with a 37-40mm prop should run nicely.

          Ive got a 1620KV and a 2045KV, both FSD 3660 in size. 1620 has never had power to it. 2045 has about a dozen runs on it. PM me if your interested on either. 2045 I think would be a bit much on 4S. I ran it on 3S in my BJ26 for a while but it was on a different esc.

            Thanks already have a spare 1620kv was thinking that would be a bit much on 4s and 3 s not enough rpms
            Amps times volts is watts so do I look up the max watts of a motor is rated at and do the math for amps?

            Just trying to figure out how to see what motor might work amp wise , from the list given by Diesel it looks like 4s and around 2300 kv was hoping to be able to run 3s as I have those battery packs.

            Guess another way of asking my question is how do I figure out if a given motor is too much on this ESC? Do I use its max rated watts and just back calculate and aim for mid 20's in rpm?
