Default RE: Noob with a few questions - ESC, Motors, props

The hull hasn't been purchased yet because I havn't recieved all the electronic parts, and the size might vary slightly depending on certain aspects of the sensors, which havn't been tested yet. Lets say its roughly 4 pounds total, 20" long, deep vee hull, and a target of 4mph. I can't really get any more specific about the dimensions at the moment, but is there a rough estimate for power based on this?

Also after mfr02's reply, I'm not overly concerned with efficiency. I just wanted a basic feeling for the efficiency vs percent of peak power used or something along those lines.

I guess I'll wait until I get the hull to proceed with the motor. I was just being a cheap SOB trying to save on shipping since I was ready to order some of the parts.
