Looking at 2x ESC's whats a reliable 8S 200A plus system with or without internal bec water proof would be good too ?

Might have more options if you dident need 8s but it's a start.

By the way, those swordfish esc's are fairly large the new 220 is smaller https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...d=hef-HBX1220L but up to 6s

The esc only goes up to 6s. OP was asking about 8s.

Yes I’ve done several XL2 and XLX, make sure you replace the caps on the board with Rubycon ZL 50v 680uf. I put 4 caps on the power side of the esc.

I know, Just a suggestion in case he changed his mind and went 6s, could save a bit of money and space going 6s.... just putting it out there. What motors are you running?

Have you got any picks or link of how you did the water cooling on it ?
I even add extra 5 caps 50v 2200 uf to it and data log says 1.6 ripple with 6S
How are thay holding up in the boat ?
