For those in this thread who deal with aquatics stuff, I am having trouble visualizing 5lbs of thrust. With a 10-15lb surface craft About 3' long, 9" wide, sitting 4" in the water, for a reasonable speed would I need 1 or 2 of these? It doesn't need to be zipping around, maybe 4-5'/s.

One should do it!
our AUV weight 110lbs and we are using 4 Seabotix thrusters mounted at 45 degrees. They put out 6lbs of thrust
