Default help! what motor do I need?

Hiya guys, we have just put a huge pond at our dropzone in sydney so I thought it might be time to drag out of the garage a hull I purchased years ago while I was flying r/c planes. Of course I know nothing about boats so hopefully someone may be able to help with info regarding what I may require!
It is a fibreglass hull 48" long, 15" wide and about 9" deep at the back (errr stern), looks like an early type speedboat.
I still have radio gear from my plane days, but what sort/size engine and drive system would I need to get on the water?(would like to make it go fast!!)
We need something to keep us occupied on the days when we cant skydive!!

That would be a good candidate for a Gas engined boat.
I don't know what the rules are in Oz as far as radios go but here in the US plane radios aren't legal in boats or unless you get caught.
