Default Which Motor???

Hi guys,
I'm coming from the world of airplanes and i know nothing about electric motors so ,i need your help.
I recently bought a scale rc boat , and i want to help me to buy a motor for it, but i want the motor to have SPECIAL FEATURES .
I want to use, a 4 or 5 cell Lipo 5000Mah ,so i'm searching for a motor to have about 10 minutes autonomy,at full throttle.
I don't know the Kv ,watt or all these electric features so that's why i'm asking your help.
Is it possible what i'm asking?

What do you suggest you experts?

Thanks in advance for any replies guys....

Got any pictures & dimensions? Impossible to make a suggestion without a lot more info, what you want to do is quite possible, but not knowing the boat nobody can make any suggestions

Don't feel abashed at not knowing everything about boats. One major difference from planes is that FE boats pull a lot more current than most airplanes. To achieve 35 mph in a relatively small (24"-30") boat you'll likely need at least 50 amps at WOT. It doesn't matter what motor you use, to reach a certain speed takes a certain amount of power. On a 5000 mAh pack that's a little over 5 minutes running without depleting the pack too far - never go below 20% remaining charge. To achieve 10 minutes you'll need to run 4S2P.

And yes, we need to know a lot more about your setup.
