In an auction my wife picked uo this hull.

It's made of marine ply; three and a half kg in weight, 870mm long, 260mm beam, 210mm high from the keel to the top of the wheelhouse.



I am thinking of putting an engine and rudders in her.
Presumably the battery will go in the forward compartment and the motor in the aft. I have two 4.5A (6v) batteries and a 2channel dual stick transmitter remote control from The Majestic Fishing Boat which I bought some two years ago when I first got interested, which I presume I could use with other boats, obviously not at the same time.
I hope I can get this hull working. I presume that I need to cut a hatch in the rear compartment. The battery could go in the front currently open compartment and the motor, prop in the to be cut out rear.
What on a limted retirement budget should I buy to get it have a go getting it working?
Never done this before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First go at electrics
Cheers,
John
