Default RE: 1/3 scale hydroplane Miss budweiser

From what i was told, the middle section was from a kawi js300 and the rest is all hand laid fiberglass, the one rear pic you can see the rudder, the jetdriveis the propulsion yet therudder is for steering,should stick to the water well

so far i have gone through the motor replacing things that just dont look right. its running a double reciver. incase one fails it ****s down there are alot of fail safes on this thing.
Ihad to reweld the exhaust becasue of some hairline cracks and remountthe mainbattery.

the only servo that i have found powerfull enough is thishttp://www.servocity.com/html/spg400..._rotation.html
its@20ft/lb of torque

i havebeen lookingintousing awindow motorbut im not that familar with an easy way to set this up, if anyone has information that would be great. once i have steering ill haveit on the lake and on YouTube

Thanks
