RE: just starting out building
Hello!!!!
Large question, but for electronic, motors lights, radios, etc, you should try the web sites of Tower Hobbies, Harbor models, Hobby Lobby, robbe and graupner.
I'm not a lover of those kind of boats, but Harbor models distribute a wide range of this kind of kits, hope that some one else could help you finding the plans
Have a great day
