Lasted build looking through all my spare motors but i think they are to big and heavy what’s the general thinking on motor make and size
I have a torpedo 800 here I was thinking about that

  From experience you should be fine with the Torpedo 800, running a 60/70mm 4 blade prop and 12volt SLA in a large hull such as the lady Jan. Hope it works okay for you.
           Cheers, Pete.  :-))

Bonjour,If you refer to this JAN kit https://youtu.be/ZqrJScYCvXA (https://youtu.be/ZqrJScYCvXA) I am surprized by the size her propeller you evoke because mine, steam equipped,  has a 120 mm 4 blades one.Of course, with such a power, accidents are possible...  https://youtu.be/g-R29YkaoWI
