Alternative motors

Hi Sonar
Used to be very popular with the model Tug fraternity. I had two in my Eldergarth (4') and they worked fine. They are able to turn large coarse bladed props with ease and do not normally require any cooling. I used a couple of Electronize ESC's but any 20/30 amp make should be OK.
They are not fast revving so most suited to Tugs, workboats, cargo vessels and fishing boats. if you have a fast boat they would not be suitable. Weight may also be a problem in smaller models
Live long and prosper

Alternative motors.
Any body using car radiator 12 volt fan motors for model boat motors ?
If so how do they perform. As good as any other motors or too fast.
