Heres a few shots of my new 36" FE lobster boat. Most of them are on 9.9 volts with a motor that was too small. The jump and landing shots are on 19.8 volts with a T600 1400kv outrunner. Im looking to hit 50mph with it.

I'm about finished one, need to finish the deck and paint it, mine is 30". Mine is set up for pulling power, going to tow a line and use it for retrieval close to shore.
Going to try a proboat 1500kv motor on 2s, be running 2s2p for a total of 10000mah. Thinking about an Octura 12 series prop, low pitch large diameter. Not sure about the esc yet, would like something with a decent reverse, might use a car esc and add a water block for cooling. Who know amp draw may end up being low enough the stock fan may cool a car esc.If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

Added that channel to my subscription list. The closest thing we have to Offshore here in Idaho, is the Lucas oil/IHBA drag boats in Burley, ID. 2 hours south of Boise.

On 19.8 volts 1400kv T600. This is the first run with the T600, its got alot more power than the old motor.

Very cool. Sounds like you have a drive-line vibration.Comment

There is a small vibration I had to bore the motor coupler and its a tiny bit out.
