Yeah, that is what makes it fun and challenging. Each decision is a mix of compromises and costs. I like doing the research. I am going to stick with 2s. Thanks for looking around Diesel.Comment

Here is a summary of what I found, thanks for the help... These are different options of set up for 2s. The first one is the most proven one. The rest all have some feedback, but some risk..

* New step, add more glass/carbon to the hull lol*
Stick the 7l's in the adult boats and run the smaller motor in the kids boats.Comment

my vote
I run a similar 24" mono that I built, but run on 3s. I run a turnigy 3650-2300 inrunner with water cooling. 3s gets me to the mid 30's on a 38mm plastic prop and 4mm running hardware (chinese). Low amp draw also, everything is cool. 22 amp average amp draw at 34 mph (gps speed, timed run for average draw)

For two cells, they also make a 3300kv motor. http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=6530
On my boat, I run a HKSS 35/40 amp esc.
$16 motor, get a cooling jacket, and around $12 for esc and then water cool it. ( I make a lot of my own stuff)
Another option would be to go with a small outrunner. The kv is a bit low on the mystery I use in my crackerbox, but I am getting high teens on 2s in a submerged drive and only pull around 12 amps. Look at HK on the 28mm turnigy outrunners, lots of kv choices. I use a 28mm -2350kv on my 1/16 shovel nose and it runs great on 3s, look for something in the 3000 to 3600 range. Also, no water cooling then, just run it! Good for a sport setup like you are looking for.
