What brushless motors you using,and how long running time as I'm very tempted to put them in the monster Mersey after the trials with brushed motors,because at 78" long & 90 mm props it might be costly

The original builder put all interior in as per the real boat,but lots of it was broken off and just lying around so I repaired what needed doing then put it back to where it was supposed to go,I was very lucky that I know the original builder and he sent me the photo build of the boat,talus & carraige

The talus 33"
The carriage 66"
The boat 78"

Not been a good day,was just finishing off boat ,put boat on carriage and both wheels buckled and broke,so it's a welding job, not happy as I was hoping to take it to king Lear tomorrow,but will now have to wait a little longer before it will go on water,but I will not be beaten,so I will take talus tractor and maybe someone might take interest,so will down load photos of boat in a day or so
