Many thanks - Off I go
Regards

HI Tony
I suggest you look in
http://modelfireboats.com/rc/setups.php
on this site.
To answer your questions, I suggest:
Motor - Graupner 600
Battery - 8.4v NiMh 3300 Ma +
Charger - NiMh charger
Paint - Please see below
Speed Control - Mtoniks Viper20
Fittings - Try Model Slipway. Windows can be obtained from a fellow Fireboater dbninja - see For Sale in Forum.
Suppliers: Component Shop (Battery/Charger); Mtroniks (ESC); Howes Models (motor).
All the above have web sites. if you have difficulty finding their webs sites please em me and I will provide their URLs.
Paint - depends on what is already on your hull. Most original Aerokits were glued and rubbed smooth before being painted. Some were sealed with sanding Sealer (dope), possibly also covered with fine tissue, before being painted. After several years storage (possibly in an attic) the wood and glue split along the glue line, water then enter the fine crack and soaks the wood inside. Your hull may be sound in which case a light sanding to provide a key should allow you to use some car Acrylic spray paint. I used Red Oxide primer for the base, Satin Black for the hull sides and grey primer for the deck. I buy from a stall in the local market.
Good luck and kind regards
Dave

Should have said the boat is the smaller of the 2.

Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I am not sure of the price ranges - sorry.
Budget is not a problem however I am probably not requiring specialist products.
Motor which will fit easily into the direct drive prop. Last motor, which was not too acceptable used a burglar alarm battery. Got very hot. Need a way of charging.
Radio control and speed control again possibly a step above budget.
Advice on painting would be useful.

Again apologies for the basic questions

HI Tony
Welcome to the site.
We need a bit more info re your boat as there were two versions 34" and 46". Also an indication of your budget for this project would help. As with most things today cost usually dictates what is best for individual circumstances.
Sorry to not answer as requested but with this additional info Fireboaters will provide you with the answers.
Dave
