New Member - Electric Running Gear Help for Scratch Build

[GASdesigns]

Hello all,

I've been following the forum for a little while and have decided to build a speedboat from scatch.



So far she measures 800mm x 250mm x 100 deep and I'm a little undecided as to which running gear to put in it?

As it's designed quite shallow would i be better putting the propshaft through a hole in the back (i think it's known as the transom) or out the bottom?

Also with regard to a rudder is it possible to run just one of the below which is offset from the propeller?

Also, could anyone point me in the direction of a reliable materials, fixtures and fittings online shop in the UK?

Many thanks in advance.
