need to know what sort of boat you are going to put it in mate and (Afew pics would be good ), also need to consider budget and how fast you really want to go.

I can strongly reccommend (but can't spell) my homemade motor and a chinese unnamed el-cheapo brushless ESC running on 2S1P salvaged Li-ion cells. 
It makes my Portsmouth Harbourmasters launch into a light, silent high speed shifter.

I fear this won't help you very much Rich. 
What is it you want to electrify?
