In a word, NO
I checked the Dumas website and the "Big Swamp Buggy requires a .40 to .60 for power.
Your .15 WILL be large enough for the .10 sized "Windy" and would probably be enough for the .20 sized "Swamp Buggy"
As for a prop, the spec sheet says an 8X4, reviewers were using a 7X5 with good results

My BSB has a tower .46 with a 10x8 . If you can get a .60 It will really get this hull moving. A .15 will be very under powered
