Hello to all. Just joined the forum because im getting a electric retrieval boat together. I will go one of two routes. I can pick up a partially built dumas Jolly jay inexpensivelly, it's a small fishing trawler (v shaped hull) 24" long by 8.5" wide. The v shape of the hull will allow it to have conventionnal sea faring abilities. Building a catch cradle is easily done. I would need advice (this is why im here) to select motor (brushed or brushless, esc batteries and prop, gearbox perhaps ?.The other choice is a pusher type tug, eg zippkits twin tuggster. I have heard that the shape of the hull means its slow ? What is the best rout to take. I would like to add that the largest boat i have to recover is a gas scale boat (1/6 scale river patrol boat, 52" long 17" wide and 27lbs. in weight. Also i run my boats on an enclosed pond, so the size of the waves isnt really an issue. Thanks.
