   Yes that’s correct, in fact the Fireboat is also on the same setup now.

   Graham, I've just read your previous reply as well now. Thank you.
   So am I right in saying all of your three that you mentioned are all running brushless outrunners now?

   Thanks Jelly Baby.
   Which one was the brushless motor in as brushless is the way I'm intending going?
   Very nice models though, fair play.

   Found the photos of the two setups, if this helps.

   Hi, My plans were lent to someone many many years ago and never returned, unfortunately but the superstructure does look much to high, the kit was designed in the 70’s for diesel/glowplug so the plan showed the engine mount very near the bow which was OK if you had the power from a Diesel/glowplug then that worked but as I wanted to run electric in those days I had use a shorter propshaft and it ran reasonably. However when I later fitted it with a Johnson Geared motor, and it currently runs an out runner it used to suffer from torque turning, so that is probably why it has the fins at the rear to prevent that happening, I think that you have seen the way mine runs in photos on this site. If I can find the photos I will show the current set up that I run the Huntsman Sea Commander and Wavemaster on. Will be watching how you projects progress. Graham

   Roy,
   
   Brushless motors can be picked up so cheaply these days, the same with props, unless you want something really top quality. So it may just be a case of some swapping components, testing and re-testing until you get a balance of both performance and on water stability that you are happy with.

   Hi Will,
   I think I was expecting too much performance wise, I often run speed boats.
   where this hull is more of a leisure craft design for sea conditions rather than racing at speed on a pond.

   Roy, I would guess, that if you are after top speed, then yes, a single prop and less drag may well be the way to go.
   But with the right set up and not running too heavily loaded, a twin screw set up would still give considerably more than scale speed and a good run time still.

    Hi Will,
    The setup of my Sportsman was cheap and nasty, it was running on a pair of 2845's running 3S, on two 3mm shafts. My plan is to use a pair of 2860 I have either pair of 4050kv or 2150kv most likely use lower kv ones.
    If I can't get them to fit I may revert to a single propshaft.
    I did want to keep the underside the same as the real craft, 2 rudders and two propshafts, but it does cause a lot of dragg.
    I have two other boats on the go so it may take a while before it touches the water again.
