    ok so i can only get so big a prop under the boat and i only need 2 380 motors to get to speed but for acceleration couldnt i run 2 550 motors with more pitch and supply less voltage to the motors to get better thrust and more acceleration
    irwcc but the question is really just general info

    I've run all my cruisers that size off 380 motors, direct drive with 3 blade 25 deg pitch 1.25" props. Simple, easy, works great.
