Default electric conversion

I own a 42 in. LLumar (the yellow one) that nobody seem to like but me. At the lake this thing makes so much noise that people complain. (don't blame them) Therefor I have decided on a quest to pull this engine and and go electric like everyone around here is doing with planes and helis. Does anybody make an electric motor that will push this boat as fast (or faster) than the string trimmer type motor that comes with it. A name and source will do. Was thinking maybe Hacker B50 13L Brushless
Thanks
Don

Before you switch to electric ,why don't you try one of the little add on mufflers to the end of your tuned pipe.I think one is made by Cooper and there are others that are said to quiet down the noise.
