What batteries?

HI all,
I am building a 1/24th Perkasa wooden kit.
And I have no idea how to power it.
I have bought two Graupner Speed 700BB turbos that run from 9.6v to 12v.
I don't want to use a 12v gel battery as the boat will sail like a brick!

I want to use two coupled 50 amp speed controllers with Lipos, but I dont think I can use them with these controllers as they are for brushed motors and have a bec 5v / 1amp which I think would destroy the Lipo.

What size Nimh battery pack would you recommend, and would I need two packs or would one pack be enough.
I have other boats that only have one motor and are smaller than this one so have not had this sort of conundrum!

I am on a limited budget so cant afford to waste money on trial and error combinations.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.😭
