Default rc boat nitro to b/l conversion

I have a nitro boat im wondering how and what parts to use for a b/l conversion. Its 41" long and currently running a k&b .45 nitro engine. Ive been in the rc hobby for about 12 years now and have some knowledge about electric motors, but have no idea what size to use or kv kw rating and mount up, esc batteries, etc. i want this boat to be fast on the cheap. As it sits now it seems way too slow for my taste, and the nitro motor cuts out too much. im finally getting around to making a recovery boat out of a nitro vee i changed to electric. ive been looking into a few motors and such but what is the best combo for a boat this big. i guess weight would be an issue too. so just wonderin what you guys think. btw has any one heard or bandit boats or seen this model before ive looked around the net and havent found much.
