Drilling holes is the critical step. You do NOT want to use lag screws in the bottom two holes, rather use the slots.

There is a diagram showing the right layout. Measure 3x, drill 1x. Read all the contents

You don't need a foil or a 4 bladed prop.

With a decent stainless prop, mounted high, you can expect 32-34mph running solo and light.
