    New to boats, questions about my setup

    Hello to all, sorry for such a newbie question but moved from spending all my money on RC cars to spending all my cash on boats. I've searched the forums but still not 100% sure on what prop to order but have it narrowed down.

    So, I've ordered a Genesis hull and plan on running the stock 2075kv motor for a while until I get things figured out. It will be running the stock drive line which I believe was 4mm. I plan on ordering the 220amp Hifei Swordfish ESC and powering it with a cheap Turnigy 4s for right now. From what I've seen people seem to run the Octura x642, M445, M545. Would any of these be ideal for my planned setup? As of now I'm more concerned with keeping things cool than making sure I get a couple more MPH out of the boat. I'm hoping with that setup 35 MPH is obtainable. Thanks everyone for the help!

    The M445 would be your best bet out of the three there to start if you just want to get things rolling.

      Thanks for the reply. Ordered my esc, prop, and miscellaneous bits from OSE store so hopefully will have the boat ready to go this week. Figure I can get a couple runs in, locate and fix and potential problems, check temps, and go from there.
