How would I know or estimate the amount in Ampere I am consuming in my esc since there is no way we put an ammeter on the boat and visually see it while in the water?
This question is just to know whether i have enough allowance on the esc to stay away from smoking it.
Im comparing the esc like a circuit breaker used in my house. If I have an appliance that is consuming 3000 watts, to get the ampere rating I divide it with the AC supply in volts.
Like 3000 divided by 220 volts = 13.63 Amperes. Is this applicable on computing Ampere rating on RC boats to?
Example: Leopard 4082 2200 it says on the specs 2400 watts. Is it right to compute it this way 2400 divided by 14.8 volts (4s) = 162.16 Amperes and 2400 divided by 22volts (6s) = 109Amps.?

Yes, assuming actual voltages and amps under load, not nominal values. The best way to estimate your setup's average amp draw is to start with a full pack, run the boat as normal timing the run - use a stopwatch, not an egg timer. Recharge the pack and note how many amps you put back to bring it to full charge. Then use the Amp Draw calculator here: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/conversion.htm

Visited the link. I think it will explain to me everything that i need to know about electrics on RC Boats.
Lots of factors to consider.
Thank you so much for all the infos you shared. Newbies Like me need to understand all details before starting to upgrade.
Again thank you.
