Default How to power a 2m (6') Jet RHIB?

Hi Everyone,
Firstly let me say that I have read the 'Read First' section.....however it didn't really cover what I'm doing. I have built a 2m RHIB running a 75mm Jet drive. My issue is that every 'BIG' motor may be too small. I have had a look at the Aquastar 730KV, the Dynamite 6P 1000KV, Proteus x524 and they all are powerful motors, but I don't know if they are powerful enough and I don't really want to spend big $s only to find that it's sluggish.
One issue at a time though and my question is if anyone has a suggestion for a motor (and potentially ESC) large enough to power a 2m (6 foot) boat. Any suggestions would be appreciated, or even testimonials on the motors listed above,.
P.S. the Aquastar is meant to be 5280W, so if it's under that then it's not powerful enough.
Cheers, Merv.
