50" AeroMarine Apache Deep V Conversion from Gas to Electric Help Needed
Hey guys - I've got a 50" deep v that I want to convert to electric but have very little knowledge on brushless boat motors, esc's, and battery combos. I do understand that the motors kv rating equates to rpm, but not sure how boat weight and prop size tie into motor and ESC selection. I did some searches on here but didn't really see anything that helped or that I at least understood. I do have a pair of 2s 30C 4000mah lipos. I'd like to keep the running hardware and most likely need to add a few things like trim tabs, water pickup(s), and maybe turn fin(s). The prop is a Octura X472. Not looking for a racer, just something to toy around with maybe 35-40mph with the option to improve performance in the future. Here's some pics of the boat and how it was setup, but never ran. Thanks for all and any help. Jon
