hi there these are brushed motors in this model - but - I was trying out a new (from ebay) a Chinese speed controller with programmable brake function.  The reason I liked this is that it only had 50% power in reverse - because on this model where the rudder posts come up at the stern/ there are slots at the top to take the rudder tiller arms.  Water can enter through them if you do full reverse :-)  but, it turns out that the reverse and brake function are so hitty missy on this particular speed controller, it is being replaced.   Watch the video and have a laugh :-)
This is the speed controller

I have a 120a Hobbywing ESC in my Chris Craft Runabout and the programming card give the choice between a pause in neutral and instant forward/reverse. This has always worked perfectly, I bought a second hand Robbe Turo, the ESC fitted looked like a Hobbyking 40a so I bought the requisite card and found that it also offered neutral or instant, and that works fine as well (and is a much cheaper unit than the 120a ESC)
