    First Custom Boat Setup

    I would like some help and suggestions from the community on what parts would be best on my new boat. I am building a 29" deep vee rc electric boat. I am planning on running two 3cell lipo's and I have a Great Planes 42-50-800kv outrunner brushless motor. I have no clue what size of rudder or strut/stringer to use. I have the Aquacraft SV27 strut but dont really care for it. It looks too long for my purpose. Would it be? Is there a better option out there I have not come across? I want the rudder to be offset from the prop, but does it need to be fore or aft of the prop? This would be a surface running prop setup. Would it be better if I run the lipo's in series or parallel? I am new in the electric powered things. I use to be all nitro until I stopped from the cost and the maintenance of the nitro. Now electric seems like its better and easier. Plus I can't run nitro or gas rc boats at any of my nearby lakes. Any help/ guidance would be wonderful. Thank you all in advance.
