Tunnel Hull advice

[razzle]

Hello, I just purchased an old Tunnel Hull that as you can see from the pictures needs a bit of fixing up and painting but I got it fairly cheap. The person I purchased it off said they used it as a mould to make hulls from it is made from fiberglass and is 36 inches long and 14inches wide, I was thinking of making it electric and would like to know what size outboard leg, Brushless motor, prop, esc and how many cells to run on this. I was thinking of maybe a 7.5 size leg and at least a 40mm motor and either 6s or 8s...what do you guys think?IMAG0110.jpgIMAG0111.jpgIMAG0112.jpgIMAG0113.jpg

Should work fine with a 7.5 leg about a 4074-4082 around 1500kv on 6s. I have converted a few older tunnels. The only question is how well that older boat handles. I found in the long run I ended up moving to a more modern hull that handles the power best.
