    Yes, you can get a Y harness and connect the two esc's to a receiver.

        Each brushless motor needs one esc. How fast do you want to go? You should probably get atleast an 120 amp esc for a fast setup. Your speed is limited by hull, motor kv, prop, amps, battery voltage and watts. It is a little more complex than it appears. Check out the build section for some proven setups.
