I was given a tugboat model that has a rudder and prop installed.  No other gear.

Is there some kind of all in one kit that someone can suggest to finish this off?  I never really got into RC stuff as a kid but I guess this thing needs a motor, power supply, servo for the rudder, and a remote.

I took some pictures to show what I have and the parts that came with it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

That is one of the Midwest Products series of boats.  They made a tug boat, fire boat and a few others on the same hull.  Steam or electric power were options.

550 brushed motor and standard sized servos work well.

You need a T-Hull submarine to go with it.
