I have to disagree, boat have very high amp requirements, as the speed goes up, so does the load. I would not be suprised for a 7700 on 2s in that boat to pull 80amps or more, each. I have a supervee, and a few other boats. The sv27 can produce almost 700watts, so on 14v (4s lipo under load) that is 50amps. Of couse, motors running half the voltage will have to pull twice the amps... The only way boats get by is due to water cooling, even a feigao will run cool in a boat with a decent water cooling system. It will still not be effecient, but will run cool.

So it sounds like a 60amp would be a minimum to try. Any thoughts on the type of esc I linked to?

I would run a pair of 80 amp escs (water cooled) with the 7700 motors. And try to gear them down as much as possible smaller pinions) , as they will run quite a bit faster than the stock brushed motors. You should most likely step up the props a bit, but testing on the stock props should be fine. I have no idea how stable the hull is on the villian, 40mph may be all it can handle.
I got my sv27 up to 44mph, running stock motor and esc with a pair of 3600 12c 2s lipos in series. The batteries were limiting the boat. It was fun, the only thing in the water was half og the prop, and the last little bit of the trim tabs. We could see daylight under the hull...
