David a little more info on your boat would be a great help before anyone could recomend a battery

[dr.pringle]

It's a stock pro boat blackjack 26

[dr.pringle]

does that help

David I don't want to give you any bad advice since all of my boats are 10c to 12c range and from 45' to 60' in length . but if its any thing like the SV27 two 3200mah to 4800mah 3cell lipo's paralleled should probably work great , I hope someone with experience in the smaller boats chimes in to confirm or correct this . do a search on the Blackjack 26 on this forum there has got to be extensive info

some good info in this thread.............http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...k+26+batteries

Wow I think I'm in way over my head LOL oh well I'll figure it out

Thanks Douggie for covering my butt...................

I actually would go a step further and recommend 4500mAh or higher Douggie,
3500mAh is not going to give you too much of a run time.

[dr.pringle]

so 2 7.4 volts 4500 mAh is what i need to buy?

[dr.pringle]

7.4V 5000mAh (2 cells) Pro Power Series

at least...
don't forget they have to be a high "C" rate (25 or more)

Doc those would be fine all you will have to do is change the plugs to deans plugs.
