Some 30 years ago my brother and I built an Aerokits Sea Queen and powered it with a Gannet 15cc.

My son has recently become interested and we've rescued the model from the family home, but the Gannet was sold some years ago.  Having cleaned it up, repainted the hull and paddling pool tested for a weekend, it seems waterproof.  Plan is to power it with an electric motor, but which one amongst the many now available?  Any suggestions/advice will be much appreciated.

If you're not familiar with the old Sea Queen it is about 4' long, maybe 14" wide, hard chine and quite heavily built of ply skins on ply formers.

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi Latestarter,
Have a look at Stavros Perkasa post on here fist time I have ever seen one of these models on the plan with an electric motor. Stavros has used the motor supplied by Marksmodelbits or nomustangmak and I can tell you they are awesome, just ordered two my self.

I believe Stavros has a sea something, not sure which one.

Send a PM to nomustangmark of Marks Model Bits he does just the motor you want.

Yes Richard you are so right I do indeed have a Sea Queen and will in future be retro fitting it with a Motor off Mark on 24v of course......The way forward with the Perkassa and Sea queen

Having seen the pics of Stavs Perkassa, I got straight onto the phone to Mark and bought 2. Last weekend I spent up with Stav and have seen the Perkassa for real--------
