    For one thing a bigger prop is required. Like a 455 or bigger. A swordfish 240 or 300 would be perfect.

      Would a swordfish 200a 8s be enough or a 240 minimum. Thanks.

        Keep the prop small and the 200 would work. Won't be very fast.

          What would speeds be in the 40-50 range?

            40-50 go with the 240. You have options then. You could go 10s on that motor too.
