Huntsman 31 motor &prop advice please

Hi - I've got one of those and once I've progressed with some of my other builds I'm planning on replacing the old MFA 850 with a brushless.

Being quite a heavy beast and wanting decent speed but not manic I'm looking at one of the Overlander 50 dia. brushless outrunners which will provide the torque required and use a 45 or 50mm 3 blade prop.

Definitely LiPos for me. The 7.3v lead acid was fine in the boat weightwise on the water but too heavy and unwieldy for moving around and launching and with LiPos you can easily up the volts without much increase in weight.

Huntsman 31 motor &prop advice please

Almost at the motor fitting stage with my Hunstman 31 (46") and wonder which motor and prop combination would be best, also whether L/A or LIPOs ?
