Default New airboat build need advice

hey all,

I just dismantled a large Catalina seaplane (was a great aircraft if you wanted to practise crashing) decided I would make a basic flat bottom airboat using all the electronics from the plane.

Its going to be twin electric brushless engine, I'm trying to figure out what sort of prop's I should use and whether I should go for a push or pull, the tri-prop I have generate a lot of airflow but after flipping the prop over, it still pulled air rather than pushed it (what the?) and I'm thinking push prop would make more sense. Also being twin motor should I reverse one of the engines so they are opposite to each other (Will I get adverse yaw if both are going it the same direction?)
