Depends on the boat, big and slow MFA Torpedo 800 motors on reduction belt drives, about sixty quid each. Big and a bit quicker, MFA Torpedo 850 motors on the same reduction belt drives and about the same price.
Alternatively, some of the big lifeboat models are now using brushless setups, might be worth seeing what they are using also..

Mine is a lifeboat,but the motors in it are very slow,I even put them on 24v  same speed ,so motors have had it( as it was left outside uncovered for over 4 years), but was thinking brushless so I will look around

Cheers
