    Yeah I understand I will measure the boat when I get home and yes the tug is twin screw the 2 motors are decaperm geared motors not sure of the gear ratio as I understand the lower the kv of a brushless motor the higher the torque so hoping someone might be able to help me work out what size speed controller would be required to run a 800kv brushless motor

    Hi Paul yeah all good will post a picture of the fire boat it’s done 😁 yeah the pool is temporary we have took it down now but it will be back up in March I think. The pool is going to be bigger next year. Hooton is a great venue to be honest. Have a look at the photo it was taken at the beginning of the year mate.

    Paul,
    We have a temporary pond at Hooton airfield and hopefully when we get settled we are thinking about putting a show on but not in March as it would be far to cold. Hope your keeping ok?
