Based on years of experience watching new boaters fail at far less complex projects, without direct help I fear his project will not be successful.
I?m not trying to discourage him, but he would be much better served by starting with a less complex/expensive project on which to learn the basics. A simple newbie mistake will cost him many hundreds of dollars with a dual 12S cat. A mentor can help him prevent that. Regardless, I wish him luck on his project.

For a first time build to go 100+mph (and survive) might be a tad tricky - here's some of the most experienced long time FE builders/racers from around the world going for records up to and exceeding 100 mph under very ideal conditions. (old vid, but still meaningfull)
