I don't know what to tell you for props. I've never had to use a counter rotating prop. I know there are some available, but the selection is somewhat limited I believe. You cannot turn a normal prop the opposite way, the boat will go backwards. You will also need a flex cable that is wound the opposite way of a normal cable. Doug

I would give the X470 a try, but it might be a little small for a 38cc motor. Doug

The X450 would be much too small. It also is for a 3/16" shaft and you should be using a 1/4" diameter flex shaft. Doug

I don't really know anything about electric boats, but I do know there are people running bigger boats than this with electrics. If you really want to go fast electric boats can get quite expensive from what I've seen. If you want to do this tho, I think I would suggest the Prowler which you can also download on here. Doug
