    Thank you Alessandro!
    I am going to try a 540 35T with a slightly over scaled prop...but not too big. Should be interesting to see if it cruises calmly. Considering the beam I am a more than a bit concerned.

    Hi Jumpugly, this ship is turning out really well, but I'm amazed (once again) by your speed.
    Bravo.
    You have already prepared the housing for the electric motor.
    Whichever motor you choose, he will have to be happy with the splendid doghouse you are preparing for him.
    Regarding the right choice of motor, I am preparing a mini guide for you (generic indications, no formulas); I hope you find it useful and enjoyable.
    The problem is always the translation, I would like to avoid writing incomprehensible things.

    Foredeck in place as well as motor mount. The mini stone bathroom tiles under the foredeck were installed with a trial fitting of the motor and electronics aft when I was balancing the center of gravity. More will be required, but it's still early.

    re post 60! Hi Doug I accept what you say but suggest a revisit to your photo, I would have accepted 145 but 160......๐Ÿ‘
    If it is any consolation my grandfather on the paternal side was born in 1848! Quite a stretch for 3 generations.

    My wife said I am an old man though! Of course she is right, that's just in case she reads this!๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hi Roy.
    Re "Did you not have a word with the builders Doug."
    What are you insinuating?
    The house was built in 1860, the date is set into the gable wall.
    I may be gettin' on a bit but I'M NOT 165 QUITE YET!๐Ÿ˜œ
    (I don't look a day over 150๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†)
    Ciao, Doug๐Ÿ˜Ž
