Default 41" Cat Hull Looking for Help with Beginner Setup

Went by my LHS today and saw this baby for $25 so I grabbed it. I figure at the very least it's cool to display in the workshop!

My experience is mostly in scale boats so I'm really not sure what I got? Or if it's elecric or nitro? Or if it's something I can get up and running at the lake without taking out a second mortgage?

Hull is about 41" long, thick fiberglass and very solid. No prop was included, but I'm pretty sure the output shaft is 3/16".

Any friendly advice on a beginners setup for this boat (motor, speed control, prop, batteries, motor-to-shaft coupler, etc.).

I'd really appreciate some opinions.

Thanks everybody!
