**************____liability insurance is the first item____******************

next is some very large expensive servos lets say 3000 in ounce should suffice for the rudder

two independant onboard radio systems just in case...

start pricing full size outboard hydro props

sharpen your pencil and start designing a custom drive system cuz the 1/4" drive we normally use will get twisted up like a red twizzler licorice .........oh and a rudder too nothing we have is quite big enuff.

this is your assignment if you decide to accept we will neither confirm or deny any knowledge of this project

good luck

Sounds like you need a JOHN BOAT.

I think that rather than RC , you should consider either a go-cart or a small REAL miniature version of an flat-bottom airboat for kicking around in on both the lakes and on snow/ice . ( that way , it'll be fun for ALL seasons -
OR .... if your into RC planes ... you could try a giant-scale corsair ???? ( just some thoughts )
