Hi Des
I've just come across this forum - your Bruma looks superb. I've also come across the forum on motorising the Bruma - too late for me not to have already ordered the Bruma motor kit. However, as it is unopened, hopefully Cornwall model boats will take it back if I buy the individual motors etc. in its place. Based on your experience, I would go for MFA 360 5-pole motors with 35mm 3 blade props. Could you please tell me which mixer you used and how it fitted into the system? Also, did you use the prop shafts supplied with the kit? With the motor kit, the motor lies between the shafts. With your set-up, they are in line and must be further forward if you have used the same shafts. I also note that you have mounted the battery across the hull instead of lenghtwise. Was the installation simple? Did you encounter any problems?
I am new to the hobby having just completed one boat - a Billings Nordkap. She has just had her maiden voyage at Black Park (see photos below). If you are still sailing there, I would love to see your Bruma and get any tips on its construction. I tried sending this as a private message given that your last visit to this topic was in August last year but, for some reason, it wasn't accepted. I will try again later so you may get the same message twice.
Best regards
Jeremy
