Does anyone know how to work out the correct size motor for a 1/12th scale cabin cruiser?

this hobby is new to me, and I'm trying to learn as I go along.

I have been told by one shop that I should have 2 x electronise 545/12 motors, but I have no way of knowing if thats true or not. I want it to have a realistic speed, but not plod, or go so fast that it aquaplanes

.

the boat is an heirloom, made by my dad 40 years ago, but never finished. its a mahogany planked cabin cruiser with twin props, and its 40" (1 metre) long x 12" (300mm) wide. The propellors are 3 bladed and have a diameter of 2" 950mm)

any / all help appreciated.
