    A buddy of mine had one. It is HEAVY, two pounds as I recall, and was slow on 12 cells.

          LOL No really, 20 ish. The biggest factor in my eyes would be the weight. Chris ended up running 16 cells to get it moving.

          I'm not trying to stomp on your idea, just don't want you kicking yourself.

          Have you looked at Fullers lower unit? http://www.drcwebservices.com/ffe/hardware.htm
