we are making a small scale catamaran for a competition we are looking for a engine and we are wondering what type of 3 volt engine cheap that would work good for this. The boat needs to be 6˝ x 6˝ x 16˝.

It would help to know the nature of the competition.  Length of run requires a different motor to top speed.  Is it a "switch on and go" comp, or will control be involved?
