Impulse 26 brushless conversion!!

[geoffrey marshall]

Ok guys, this is my first electric boat. I have taken the motor and esc from a wrecked Motley Crew and put them in a Proboat Impulse 26! I just have one question...what prop should I try first? Not sure if the electronics in the Motley Crew were original so here are some pics to go by. Thanks!!

Having designed and done a lot of testing with this boat... I would suggest something along the lines of a 440/3, or an ABC 42x55 for starters... The stock prop should actually work as well, as it's basically a Prather 215. Should be FUN! I've done some testing using a pretty hot 2S system in this hull and it's amazing how well it handles for such an inexpensive hull. It will likely need some much larger turn-fins, however, as you'll find it tends to let go under hard cornering when the water gets choppy. Should be easy to add.

Thanks! I have found a Prather S220 to be the best so far! Thanks
