RE: need explaination
I think you need to sit down and do ALOT of reading. Download videos etc. Looks at Cajun gators site, he has some nice boats and vids, the design is limitless, its all up to your imagination.

Flatbottom hulls are easy to build and can run pretty much anywhere with enough power.
Hull materials: Foam, wood, coroplast, metal, or just about anyting that can be made to float (On smaller boats, the lighter the better)
Electronics: Usually 2 channel ground frequency radio (Transmitter (Tx), Receiver(Rx), and 2 servos (rudder and throttle)).
Motor: Electric, nitro, gas
Steering: Air or water rudders, usually in single or dual configuration (little or no ground running with water rudders)
Radio gear in waterproof box.
Servos can be exposed and direct connected to throttle and rudder, or in waterproof box connected via flexible control rods.
I hope this helps get you started!
