    Default Modifiied Cat for Recovery Boat

    Hey y'all. Let me know what kind of motor, ESC, receiver, and prop you think would make for a good setup in order to push a 54" (1380mm) catamaran in this style recovery boat. Been bored at work lately so figured I would start designing my own recovery boat rather than buying a RTR cheap tug and making more modifications down the road. I have attached a really ROUGH sketch of what I want it to end up like. Basically half of a catamaran style hull with molded in screw on mounts for PVC arms wrapped in pool noodle. The yellow was highlighter yellow but scanner wouldn't match the color. Oh well....looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

    How wide are the boats you will be rescuing?
    I’d ditch the 45deg part and make the bay square, and longer.

    The boat is a 138 MHz mystic. About 15” wide

    Also, I have used brushed crawler systems so I have the torque and reverse, which would need a solid shaft.
    Just my learnings after 10+ years developing mine.
