[Electric Boats] Novice: Please advise

 

As I am a novice, I feel It's a good idea to build a small scale project before getting in completely over my head with my dream boat.I have a feeling there are many experimental crafts on the horizon but I digress. I have committed to a 12' dual hull design (imagine a sail-less catamaran-I chose this design to maximize passenger and cargo space while trying to minimize drag) I'm not without means but I (and my 'boss') can't justify the expense of a brand new marine electric wheel.

So my questions are as follows:

1) will the motor showcased in the following link work for a dual drive inboard application?

2)would a pair of these propel at water-ski speeds?

3)if this motor won't do the job, what kind of machines could I gut to find a suitable substitute. (washing machine, Drill press, table saw?)

As always I appreciate all the knowledge the group has shared with me, so thanks in advance.
