I would suggest a Faigao 9XL with a minimum of 100amp ESC(a hydra 120 would be perfect) on 4s-2p lipo. They will give you about 26000 rpms unloaded or out of the water. Thats the higher end of a sport setup. As for lipo packs you can go 2 ways. You can run a set of 14.4 4s packs in parallel or a set of 7.4 2s packs in series. Series running will be a little less weight and a bit quicker. The down side is the packs are put under much more of a load and run times are reduced with lower more affordable MAHrated packs. Parallel running will give you much more run time and be easer on the packs with a little added weight. This may be better for you in ruff water. The 14.4 4s packs you will need are a bit more expensive but it avarages out. Keep in mind with longer run times your motor and esc and build heat. Even more so if you prop the boat agressively(meaning a large or high pitch prop). When shopping for lipo the (C) rating can be no less than 20 to 25 and mah should be a minimum 3300. 4000 to 6000 and above is really the way to go. Any more questions about hardware selection or radio equipment just ask :).

SJFE I was thinking more like two-3cell lipo =22.2V . My vision peak dynamite charger can do one 3cell lipo at a time. Can that Faigao 9XL take that much V. And the hydra 120 does seem perfect I had my eye on it . Man this is going to be a sick boat.

That is WAY to hot of a setup. You will be turning over 40000rpm unloaded. In a word POOF. You need to run less voltage or less a motor with less turns or lower kv not to mention the HV esc. If you want a hot but relaible setup calculate rpmn unloaded to 30000. A 12XL may be the right motor IDK I have not done the math. Scoot on over to the store and X the kvm ratingsby the voltage untill you hit around 30k and there you have it.
