There is more to motor performance than watts and rpm. The OP will likely never find an R/C motor capable of turning a 6” x 6” prop at 3000 rpm, certainly the noted Turnigy motors won’t do it as they lack the necessary torque. The recommendation of gears tries to address this by increasing available torque through gear reduction.

The OP’s needs are in the realm of trolling motors.
