If you want a better chance of getting good answers, you might be better served asking this in the electric forum. Those people know considerably more about ESC's and high performance motors than I do and can give better advice

oh ok thank u ...

that 50A esc will run on 7.2 to 12v, (6-10 cells) on ni-cd/ni-mh batteries, and is plug and play no fancy set up or anything like that, HOWEVER it must be noted that when you turn Your TX on, make sure that the stick is centered, otherwise when you turn the boat on, the esc will power up the Rx but wont power up the motor circuit, this I believe is a safety feature

Shaun, the Kyosho Aquaspeed is an excellent motor. All of Kyosho's modified motors are very stout. It also appears you have a strong enough rated esc so I would go for it. Be aware that when you go to a lower turn motor you also usually have to go to a smaller diameter prop as well. Don't worry, the boat will still be faster with the smaller prop because of the hotter motor.
