hi!! i'm planning to scratch build a grand banks 42 or 46 classic. i'm basically new to the hobby, but i do have a lot of magazines and read alot about model boating.. and i do research.[8D] can anyone suggest what motor and prop size i used? i want it to have a good speed, but not too much.. and can anyone suggest hardwares? i'm planning to build my own... i'm a little tight on a budget.. i'm initally planning to buy dumas hardwares... but i'm from the philippines and shipping is a bit pricey.. i will be building the boat in 1:12 scale so my model would be 42" or 46".. and i guess i will power it with a lead acid if its electric or a .40 size airplane nitro engine.

thanks for any advice
