Default Help with powering Fast passenger ferry or crew/ supply vessel

Hi to all,
My name is Kenneth and I'in currently in the design stage of having a Fast offshore crew/supply vessel built. So far the design process is going real good. The model with be 63" long and 15 inches more or less wide. Will have a twin screw set up, but as I am new to electric and never had any brushless motor experience I don't know that size motors/ESC/batter to get. I forgot to mention that, I will be operating each motor independently with a radio that had a stick to throttle each motor separately. I would like to see around 25-30 mph and have as long a run time as possible. I don't know if these are reasonable goals, but any help would be greatly appreciated. The green ferry in the pictures below does about 34 knots.

Thanks in advance, Kenneth
