You can roll your own too, it's a little more work. Check Lawless, they have the "Fastgun" 7.5 lower. I haven't chatted with Fred for a while but he might offer an electric conversion. 1-607-687-0143
If you haven't already check out International Waters too, they have a thread on getting into FE outboards, it's a little out of date but good info. https://www.intlwaters.com/threads/h...ght-way.47083/ -
Do you still have the K&B 7.5 nitro motor? Hyperformance products makes an electric adapter $40 for the K&B lower, takes ten minuets to convert / install. I'm not familiar with that particular hull, is the rx box removable? If so with a little planing an ingenuity you could have a boat that is convertible. Run nitro on Saturday, run electric on Sunday. 2 separate Rx boxes, strap in the nitro box an tank, hook up the motor. Takes 10 / 15 minuets to unstrap remove nitro gear and 4 screws nitro motors off lower. Strap in electric Rx box an batteries, 4 screws an electric motors on the lower RTR plug an play. 30 minuets total time to flip boat from one to the other. nitro = RX box up front fuel tank in rear. electric = batts. up front Rx box to the rear. Careful placement of components you can achieve same CoG so you never have to adjust / mess with the lower unit adjustments,already dialed in.
Good luck with your conversion, DannyPROBOAT BlackJack 24", ShockWave 26"
