RE: are lifan any good?
if this is what you looking at (or one of its cousins)http://tboltusa.com/store/product_in...roducts_id=152 I would think it a less than ideal option for a performance oriented boat model - lots of weight, gearbox, and air cooled.
Try looking for a 39cc or 50cc watercooled Blata or Polini clone motor (may be minimoto branded or similar) - both are direct drive, clutched and include water pumps and pack good power. Should be the same as in the top two bikes on this link - http://www.zuma.com.au/Motorcycles.htm#PocketBikes

a blata rep engine would be perfect for a 64" hull
the cheapest option is to probably buy a whole bike and take the engine etc. out of it
some here http://shop.ebay.com.au/items/__wate...86Q2ec0Q2em359
and you will also need a walbro carby and manifold, i think someone sells them for $150au at www.pocket-bike-racing.com.au
if you need any more help just ask, ive got a few pics of mounts etc.
