Convert Nitro to Electric

[Warren Larkin]

Hello all, I am new to this site and to boats, i used to fly rc planes. Here is what i need help with, I have a 42" fiberglass boat (heavy) and it has a Thunder Tiger 46 pro marine nito motor in it. I want to convert it to electric. Can any of you tell me what motor, esc, prop and lipos i should run in it to get speeds of 40 plus. I know it will never compete with my Spartan but i want it to move...lol. Any and all help would be great. Thanks. P.S. I am trying to do this on somewhat of a budget
