Help with motor selection

Hello. I am looking for parts for an RC boat project I'm working on. I don't really know what to look for in the way of bidirectional brushless motors and controllers for them. What type of driver board do I need and what do I need to look for on the motor for it to be reversible?

Just a propulsion motor. I found one and I think it's still too big but I can always run it below its max rating.

In that case. All you need is the esp. It will run it in both directions

Ordered. Now I need to figure out battery stuff. I ended up getting a different motor, smaller with higher KV rating so I can under-run it more.
