why worried, my boat can only float 382 grams add the 56 grams of hull weight and you have the rough displacement in ml of water.

if your boat has a bigger displacement than i is able to cary more cargo...maybe just load it up until its abou to take on water and then weigh it, 1 ml water equals about 1 gram so weigh the boat and then you will have your displacement...

Time to go for brushless power! Hahahahaha.....

You'll have the advantage of lighter batt and ESC.

that depends.. If i am not wrong, stuka did his tug boat ard 30 cm and used a permax 600!! its works too!!.. must really look at his hull design...if its a deep vee, i dun advise 540.

Rich, I didnt hav a 600 in her, it's a Permax 400.

I think it may have even been a 700 (?). Whatever it was, it was perfect for Stukes MLB... it was about the same speed as my Bluestreak which runs a geared 23 turn Kawada motor.

Budget? How about the hardware?

budget somewhere from 0 to low 50's and what specific hardware did you have in mind? i have both a 400 and a 350 motor, ESC, and Batt so all i really need is the shaft,shaft housing, prop etc etc

Hardware means

1) prop shaft and stuffing tube.
2) rudder
3) prop
4) mounting brackets.

Unfortunately thete's not much choice for such stuffs in SG. rotor has Traxxas Villain's hardware. Otherwise you can build one yourself from scratch. Please refer to Stuka, our master builder's threads for pointers. Final option is to ship in.
