First things first mate

1 select the type of hull you want Mono, hydro, rigger, catamaran, or tunnel
2 then select the drive type to suit the hull type and the size of the hull if it be a stinger drive or strut
3 then get a motor that can handle what you have
4 get an esc to suit ya motor if you have gone down the electric path


but check at a local club to see what suits ya
