    Default 39'' catamaran twin setup RPM ?

    What is the normal RPM for a 39'' catamaran, 30.000 or 40.000 ?

    Thank you

    What is the planned use? What are the desired speeds? Desired run time? Narrow hull?

    I don' t want a speed saw monster, I want a fast cat to have fun with friends. I saw videos on Youtube like this one , 2 x 2150 kV on 6S so near 47.000 RPM.
    Is this a "standard" or a saw setup ?

    47000 RPM-I would say that’s a definite saw setup. Prop selection would have to be spot on, too big or too great a pitch will draw so many amps you’ll burn out your equipment. Maybe aim for around 30-35000 RPM for a boat that will have some longevity.

    Higher power requirements also means less run time. I'd rather have a slower boat and play longer if I'm with friends.

    jUST RUN 4S and you can have a lot of fun. Why bother to use 6s if you don't need the speed. 5s will give you a big smile, I won't go for 6s....
    Too many boats, not enough time...

    Thank you guys,

    I have a set of 1512 1900kV motors, they should be fine with 5S 5000mAh batteries.
