Hello,
Building an RC boat is a great project! While you can make one using a Raspberry Pi, it will be very difficult to transfer the wiring and code from one to the other. I would suggest looking for a different tutorial that uses Raspberry Pi or using an Arduino for this project.

Here are some other tutorials online that use Raspberry Pi to create a boat:

Here are some tutorials on how to use a Raspberry Pi:

Have fun with this project!
