This to me by Club president here in North Carolina it's a lot of terrific people out there. Still trying to figure out a power plant for P Limited

My recommendation for a less expensive setup would be. Use a Leopard 3650 - 2290 or 2450 KV motor. I prefer using one of Fred's "Lawless" outboard units. Everyone one has their preferences on outdrives. You can go with a Flycolor 150-amp controller. But a better option is the Castle Hydra X8S controller. Set the drive up pretty much in a neutral position. There is recommended setup instructions on the Zippkits website. These are very close to optimal positions for your drive setup. Position your battery ( 4S 6200 to 6500 ) all the way forward in the open bay up against the bulkhead if possible. I position the steering servo just forward of the transom with the controller just in front of it. This should be very close to getting you on your way to a fun and competitive setup. Have fun with your new boat!

Awesome Rick. Thanks!! I'll post a picture so I can correctly do this
 
Eriel, If I make it down tomorrow. I probably have a new or used Flycolor 150-amp controller that I will give you. I might possibly have a motor as well. I am not sure that I have a new one. I might have some rewound 3674 motors that have been shortened to legal P Limited lengths by Don Huff. I will see what I have and bring it down if I come. Or, I will give them to Marty the next time I see him to give to you.

Sounds Good! Thank you so much ric!
 
The only reason I won the class in rough conditions was my 7.5 size boat. Bob Zola was even faster, but didn't finish all the heats. I was able to make up a lap penalty on Ken Haines' smaller, conservatively driven tunnel. He also finished all the heats and was only 75 points behind.
