model boat motor

[Javaid Hosany]

Dear members,

Attached are photos of a model boat that I constructed. Now I want to find an appropriate electric motor to place on the boat. Anyone can advice me a method to determine which motor I can use? Power of the motor? Thrust?

The dimensions
weight of the model is 1 kg
Length: 54 cm
Width: 16cm
Height: 7cm
Flat bottom boat

Thank you lots.
