RE: RCM drives
The boat is 50" long and 17" wide. The RCM drive will fit on the back, but you need to do a small amount of grinding to make it fit. If you decide to get the hull (and drive) from me, I can mount the drive for you if you are not comfortable in hacking on your new hull. It makes for a very good looking combo.

RE: RCM drives
The drives are around 225. It looks very scale on the boat and it will handle/perform well. If you are looking for max speed, I would suggest you go with a regular drive/rudder. I will find a pic for you and post it.
