          Try and do a search for similar sized boats and see what others have been using.
          I know Delta Force makes a few similar sized hulls and also the SV27 seams relatively close other then the step which yours has.
          Seams to me like you are headed in the right directions but I am not that knowledgeable in this area.

          Wish I could help out more.
          OSE GIFTING ELF
          HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

              Just saw this thread.................not sure how long the boat is but if its less than 30" you are good to go in my opinion. You may consider 30c batts though in the future.

                  you are right about the batts but to his defense they can do 80A, just enough.
                  remember to allow a little head room in both your motors and ESC's

                      Thanks guys appreciate the info, so far I'm just building with my 12 year old son for fun but if we had races or a club within drivin distance we'd be there for sure. We live close to Kansas City if there is anything going on in MO or KS that anyone knows about we'd appreciate the
                      info. We built a Dumas Big Swamp Buggy because I kept crashing our planes and wanted to
                      have more run time and it's taken off from there I'll keep postin the ETTI as we continue to trim it out. Thanks again.
                      PS Hey boaterguy what exactly do you mean by "headroom" I know you mean the ESC needs to handle more amperage than the motor puts out but exactly which numbers in the nomenclature mean what I am still a little confused I am an electrician by trade and if you get
                      technical I should be able to follow I hope anyways ha ha.

                          just try not to use the bare minimum ie. if your motor needs 80A, use a 100A ESC or so, and your batteries should be able to supply at least 100A constant, not burst rates. (mah/100)*C rating= amp supply
