I got everything I needed pretty cheap at www.surpluscenter.com
Your gear ratio depends a lot on your prop. I went with 1:2.7 and wish I had gone more.

I've decided to use timing pulley's/belts or sprockets and chain along with captured roller/thrust bearings but am having a tough time sourcing them. I wouldn't be opposed to a gear reduction either provided a "bullet proof" reputation. The motor of choice is the ME0907 for it's lack of brushes, performance, and affordability. By my calc's a 2:1 to 2.5:1 reduction will be needed to maximize performance. Any ideas would be appreciated.
