Default HELP, Boat Experts! Need Speedo/Motor & Other Advice

Need some help from somebody who knows:

I built this boat as a kid back in the 70's. I want to make it go again. It used to be nitro, but I'm into electric stuff (just not boats). I'm looking for recommendations for a speed controller, motor and cooling system...and anything I might be forgetting. Any help with how I might mount the motor would be appreciated as well. I already have rudder, prop, servos and radio gear.

The boat is 33 inches long and weighs a whopping 5 pounds! I want the power to push this wooden rig about 40mph on 4s LiPo...if possible....tell me if I'm crazy.

Thanks for any help
