Default 1/144th Scale Powerplant Question...

Hi, I'm new to the boating scene but not the R/C scene.
I've been scratchbuilding the USS Maryland 1/44th scale. (WWII Era) She's going to have a full compliment of working Turrets and a bilge pump of course. Question is the Maryland has 4 screws thus 4 motors. Which motors should I use with this ship? She's to the tune of around 60" long and i'm going to have to guess approximately 20-40lbs. I'm not sure, i've never built a boat this big. It's all been airplanes for me! So any and all help with the electronics aspect of this behemoth is more than welcomed! Thanks again!

Ive awnsered your question in your other thread, im building a Destroyer and she's 87 inches long. ESC can be a living hell at this size and weight, but there are ways around it.
