Hi Jan
The plan is to use a 3639-1100kv 800watt 35mm brushless motor,3S Lipo Battery,60 Amp car ESC with a 3 blade 37mm CNC alloy prop.
Moving the motor to under the dash/windscreen is more of getting the balance of the boat right.
The shallow angle of the drive will help also.
I am not looking for super speed, but, looking for the boat to look right on the water.
Old boats can go faster than they thought in the day because they did not have the motors etc. that we have today.
My little Aerokits Sea Hornet on scale speed looks the just right, but, switch to sport mode on my radio it is a sleeper and clocks in at 45KM1!!
No trim tabs only a small bit of lead under the front seat.
