What prop to start with on 55 scarab??

[Offroaddevil]

New to the rc boating side. Was a offroad dirt guy for years tell body went to hell. So got into boats. Have a 55 inch vee .boat weighs in at 19 lbs. Motor is a spektrum firma 1350 kv brushless marine motor. The esc is a spektrum firma smart 160 amp brushless marine esc. Batterys are spektrum 5000 mah 100c 4s smart g2 and running 2 batterys for 8s. Question is what prop do I start with. Thanks

Hi, Your setup including motor and Esc might be the limiting factor for such a heavy boat, but you can start with a 50mm prop and look at temps. You can try 6cells with a 55 mm prop, and be in the low 40”mph

you are setup all wrong. ditch that motor asap. Get a rocket RC 5692 - 730kv run 2614.

I run a 60" Bonzi Epic V-bottom with a TP5680 650kV motor. I run it in 2 configurations. On 5S 16,000mAh with a Prather 275 prop it runs low 30's, perfect for the rough water I built it for with plenty of run time. On 8S 10,000mAh it runs low 50's on an Octura X470.
