Status: offline 		I would think that two would be minimum. One for steering, one for throttle. That 'throttle' servo may not be a servo, just depends on what motor/engine you use, electric/gas/nitro/whatever. For electric motors you'd need something like an ESC for speed control. For IC engines, a servo will work.
If there are more than two things to control, lights, hula-girl, whatever, you'd need at least one more servo for that. So, the radio would need to have at least two control channels, plus whatever 'other' things you want to control remotely. You'll need at least one battery for the receiver on the boat with any type of motor/engine. If electric powered, another battery for that, or just one larger battery for all of it.
That ought'a get you into the ball-park. Finding the appropriate 'seat' is still up to you...
