Default esc/motor compatability

I just picked up a used Midwest Lobster Boat ARR from an aquaintance. The boat is currently configured with the stock mechanical speed control and the stock 5 pole motor. I would like to put an LRP Runner ESC that I already have from an RC car (rated to 18 turn motors) in it but I don't know if it will handle the 5 pole motor. Will this ESC be compatable with this motor? In addition I am thinking of making a Y harness with deans ultra plugs (my 3300 nimh packs are so equipped), so I can have longer run times. Will this achive my objective and will it give it any increase in speed? This is my first scale boat and I'd like to rig it correctly from the start. Thanks.
