which is better for boats?

[Jack Smith]

Which motor out of the reedy ti and the p94 will perform the best I am now that a motors with 12 turns and above will work well I have a 12turn p94 in a blast a the boat runs real fast but I want to know which is faster out of the ti or p94's because I want a faster 05 for my boat I am using a octura 431 prop.

Try a slightly larger prop before trying out too many motors. That prop is a little small for that hot of a motor.

I don't think that prop's all that small for that motor. You could try the Octura X432. The X435 might be a bit big, but you could try it. What kind of running hardware are you running in that boat. With a good octura strudder and flex shaft, you should notice increased performance (due to more efficient hardware). Also, a flex shaft and strut is more adjustable, so you can get your boat to ride perfect with a little tuning. The less hull that's out of the water, the faster the boat.

Also, how many cells are you using, if you're using only 6, then try 7 or 8. But make sure that you keep a smaller prop, or else you risk getting the motor and controller too hot. The P-94 should be able to handle it though. Water cooling would be a good thing to have on the motor when running 7 or 8 cells.

Also, the center of gravity is a good tool to tune your boat. Start with the center of gravity (the balance point) about 30% ahead of the transom (back), then move it forward if needed to keep the front down, which keeps the boat more stable and lets it turn eaiser (good in choppy water). Or you can move it rearward to lift the bow and get as much of the hull out of the water for maximum speed (good for relitively smooth water).
