[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 341916, member: 6334"] There is a lot to consider here. 1. The 36v 101 is rated at 101lbs of static thrust and the 2 24v 70's total 140lbs of static thrust. At the same time, these things run on batteries which are very heavy and we are only looking at 15' of flotation here weight is not a tin boaters friend. 2. I'm guessing that by "Benefit", you mean speed. Speed is a function of waterline length...a shorter boat will be generally slower than a longer boat [b][u]If they are both loaded with the same gear[/u][/b]. (shorter boat rides deeper) 3. If the front is controlled by foot, you could use a remote control fob to control the rear one. 4. There would be a slight difference, the larger boat at a waterline of 4" vs the smaller boat WL of 4" follows 6" (difference in width) X15' (length) X 4" Waterline depth) = 4320 cu inches or 2.5 cu ft. for a displacement of 130 lbs. I hope this helps you with your project. I have to go get a beer now, my head hurts. Jerry [/QUOTE]
