Keilkraft Neptune, motor choice

How would the 250 or 280 perform with the 25mm prop? I am on a budget, so trying what I still have lying around.

Thanks.

Keilkraft Neptune, motor choice

Dear all,
I am planning to build a Keilkraft Neptune. I am looking forward to create one of the vintage boats. It will be a standard boat, so 16" long (around 40 cm).

Can anyone help with the choice of electric motor? I have a 250 and a 280 lying around, together with a 2mm shaft and 25mm prop. The main objective Is to get It going, no speed required. Maybe the next boat will be bigger, with some speed In It.

Hope you can help,
Thanks,
Tijn
