After a lot of research and lots of PMs (thanks for your help and patience Jay!), I decided on the Feigao 540XL as the motors for this boat. Battery will be a lipo, contrary to my liking. But I can't afford to pay $500 for a set of A123's. So lipos 6S 5000mAh and modified (water cooling / waterproofing) cheap 100A ESCs off ebay. Strut still undecided...

OK, I stumbled across this: (Scorpion and Hyperion joined their forces)
and now I can't decide whether to stay with the 12XL's or to switch to these.
I was told these scorpion motors have higher power than the 540XLs do. Can someone comment on this?!
What also makes me go for the outrunners is, that they have stator laminations not only copper like in the Feigaos and if it burns up it can be rewound. And it has 10 magnet poles VS the 2 poles of the Feigao.
Only con of the outrunners I can think of is a bit troublesome cooling.
At the end I went for the T600 1400KV Turnigy outrunners. They are good quality motors.
Batteries will be A123's. 7S2P times two, one for each motor. Roughly equal to a 6S 4500mAh Lipo pack. A little bit low capacity, but I don't want to go with Lipos, nor can I fit 3P setup in the hull. :)
ESC still just a plan, SkyWing 150A heavily modified. (watercooling, waterproofing, cap banks)
