I don't think you will be able to do it on $50 if you get new stuff.
I used this motor http://www.hobbypartz.com/07e-c-sl-12t-2040-blue.html
this ESC http://www.hobbypartz.com/07e-c-seaking-25a.html
and bought a couple 1300 mah lipos and it was $60 without buying a charger.
But these little jet boats are a blast to drive!
Here's mine

what modification have you made to the intake please ? im running the same jet unit in a custom built cathedral hull 012.jpg027.jpg028.jpgcurrently with the stock motor until i can afford a brushless one !

[Trexter67]

I have not done anything yet. I have not even ordered any parts but if you want to see some videos on this jet out put just type NQD Jet Boat on YouTube. Sorry I could not help you any more than that

[C.B.R.]

I did no modifications to the intake or pump. Only put a piece of metal screen over the intake to keep from sucking in rocks in shallow water. I also drilled a hole in the pump for pressurized cooling for the motor and esc.

[triumphjon]

i shall need to put something over the intake as there is lots of blanket weed where i sail , which has already claimed my first prop ! where on the pump did you drill for a cooling inlet ?

[C.B.R.]

I put it here....

in front of the nozzle so it doesn't block the nozzle movement.
