Does anyone know of an ESC that can handle 14.4 volts or higher. I
want to replace the mechanical ESC in my Midwest booth bay lobster
boat.

there is one by Tekin that does 32 cells at 100 amps but no reverse so not
much good to you Mtronics do one for a train thats 10amp at 14.4v but there
must be others

if you don't mind trading with the UK Astec do a
100amp one that seems to fit the bill for twelve cells

the description on the page at the begining states 24V? later it states 14V,
I would email them and ask, maybe it can handle the voltage you want. I have
had many Astro Flight electronic items and they are very good. Don't be
conserned about the amps, AstroFlight is one of the only companies out there
that actually tell the truth when it comes to current load, you will never
see rediculous statements like 350 amps and up from them.

Castle Creations makes a brushless proportional reversing ESC.
www.castlecreations.com

For more affordable brushless motors, try the Nemesis line. They are Hacker
knockoffs. www.finedesignrc.com or www.starluckrc.com

Don't recall the max volts but Ace R/C does one I know handles 12 volts at
80 Amps.
