Hey Guys... I'm thinking of getting together the parts for just a fun project... Something a little unusual that I can just have for a sport boat...
With the pick-up of the EP-1 outboard that SJFE had up last night, I now have two of them... I'm thinking I'd like to build something with dual outboards that is kind of scale looking...
I don't really have a well-thought-out plan at this point, as I have a couple of other boats I have to finish first, but I was thinking along these lines...
Something in the 25-30" range... Dual EP-1 outboards with 15 to 12-turn brushed motors... I have several Hydro Zeta ESCs that are made for dual motors that I thought I'd give a shot... They are older and kind of heavy, but may work for the purpose... I'd likely power it on 3S or maybe 4S...
I think the outboard is going to hold a max of maybe a 35mm prop... I'd like to reverse-rotate one of the motors and have counter-rotating props, but it looks like I can only get an X430 in reverse rotation... Next appears to be an X442, which I think would be too big...
So, I was thinking of trying out a CAT this time around... It's going to be either that or an Offshore Deep-V hull... but I think a Cat would look pretty cool...
Not sure what hulls are out there that might have the transom to support these motors, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears... Let me know what you think...
