๐ sea queen 48inch help with motor please

I totally appreciate what your saying as I am new to this in all fairness and have read and heard some bad stories about lipos if you don't know what your doing .
in my other boats Ive used 8.4v or 9.6v 5100 ah nimh and have had great results
really I would like to stay with a brushed motor if I can get one that will give me the power I need I don't want it to leave the water I like my boats to be to scale.
I had a 48 huntsman with a torpedo 850 50x prop but it was so under powered
really thinking about it maybe I should of gone for the smaller sea commander
thanks for your help and advice
