20 hp Reacher D70L165 for a diy outboard?

Hello folks, new here…

Ive been wanting a 20’x7’ solar charged electric boat after watching “true north” on yt.

I’m asking AI a bunch of questions about boats and solar power, but I think I’m ready to ask and confirm a few things if I may…

I was told to consider the Trampa VESC 75/300 MKIV esc combined with a Reacher Tech D70L165 submersible motor.
Does that combination sound like I could adapt it as a submersed outboard motor with a 9" x 6" pitch prop? I realize it will be trial and error on height and prop, but is the motor and controller a solid choice for my project?

Thanks!
