    Help choosing hardware and electrics for 50" Expresscraft Thunderbolt cat

    Hi, just planning my next build.

    Thinking of these struts :



    or



    Do you guys think that these are too long for 50" hull(sponson lenght 46" overhang 4" )?

    Not sure what rudder eighter.... -something scale thought. -not too far from transom, maybe just behind props?


    And what kind of power does .187 cable hold? looking about 5kw per motor or maybe more. -I would like to get 1/4" but thinking these are too long struts for this hull and cr shafts for stepped down 1/4" to 3/16 props looks difficult to find. (thinking that 1/4 props are too big, thoughts?



    MotOrs and escs are still what I am tryng to find, maybe SSS motors and some escs that are not schulze money... -6 to 10 s2p per motor is what I am thinking...


    SO please feel free to post your thoughts here.
