I recently had OEX bassyak my stealth 12. I don't think you'll ever get more than 4-5 mph because that is about the max hull speed since your not getting up on plane. I use an optima blue top 34m and get aboutb5 hours of run time. The battery weighs nearly 50 pounds which sucks. I have seen a lipo 12 v rechargeable from smart battery that would give almost equivalent run times and only weighs 18 pounds. The drawback is price; $650.00. Your boat looks great and much cheaper than a bassyak! If you want to see how the motor lift kit works on mine, let me know.
