We've got so far,

Hi Grant,
When you say: "We've got so far", do you mean you've got those items in front of you, or just on your shopping list?
Reason I ask, is that I share the torque concern with Martin regarding the Turnigy 4082-1450Kv car motor.
Please, don't be guided too much by the price, get a proper motor like the TFL SSS series.
I also think 1450Kv is on the low side of the spectrum for 6S; you'll have between 27000 and 28000 rpm under load, which requires a fairly large prop to get a quick boat.
Large props generate a lot of proptorque and propwalk issues, which on a boat this size can cause it to get undrivable very rapidly.
Personally I'd go for the motor I mentioned earlier, the SSS 4082-1800Kv:

HP 220BM/50/A3 S P4 (1810Kv), which would set you back €335,00...
Knowing what type of drivetrain you're going for helps making suggestions for what to get.
Either a long wiredrive, with the motor up front as in my sketch, or a flexshaft, which allows the motor to sit closer to the transom.
Both options have consequenses for the position of motor and Lipo's, so you'll have to play with those weights inside the empty hull to know what should go where in order to get the GoG right and have a functioning floodchamber.
A powertrim like this one allows the use of a flex shaft as well as a wire drive:

Found another Wasabi video, not sure what size the boat is, most likely similar to yours.
To give you an idea what to expect, when motorized properly.
Disregard the poor driving, I see that a lot in Russian video's...
