Hello Chuck and welcome to OSE.
From your data it looks like you are in Alabama. If yes, there is a great club in Huntsville which could be a helping hand. They have a time trial event January 15th and 16th. You could catch up on hours of internet reading by meeting the club members and asking for help.

Both P and P-Ltd are great classes to start with. P-Ltd limits the motor size and is a great entry point because the power is limited. It also allows you to use lower cost components for your first build.

There are many good hulls available for the 4 cell mono class, these typically overlay with a 21 mono in terms of size.
A couple of options:

Delta Force Cyberstorm: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...?prod=df-Storm
Delta Force Chaser: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...od=df-chaser32
OSE Raider M34: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...ose-Raider-M34
Offshore electrics also offers RTR P and P-ltd configurations:
RTR OSE Raider M34 P-Ltd: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...-M34-p-limited
RTR OSE Raider M34 P: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...M34-p-mono-blk
Aeromarine Titan 33:
Insane FE34: https://www.insaneboats.com/product/fe-34-mono-hull
Huff Racing ORCA:
Seaducer SD3: https://seaducerboats.com/collection...-electric-boat

Lots of hull options. Just as many motors and ESC combo's too.

Jerry Crowther, the owner of Seaducer just posted a for sale ad for a P-mono on IW RTR: https://www.intlwaters.com/threads/s...-p-mono.82271/

Thanks that is just the info I was looking for. I'm going to be out of town for the weekend 15 and 16 but i will be there in march. I'm mainly doing research so when i get there I'll better understand what everybody is talking about. In the 90s I built and flew pylon racing planes qwickie 500 and scale. Over the summer I got my first boat now I have 5 so naturally it's time to start racing.
