Re: prop and steering
I didn't like the NFB steering but that's jmo.
I have hydraulic now and it's great (jmo).
If you get that, it will come with a new helm and you will prob have to get a new steering wheel too. Is that right, ya'll?
As far as your prop, you will prob end up needing something in the 30 inch area with all that hp., but that's down the road.
The hydrofoil should be out of the water at high speed so it won't effect chinewalk.
...good looking ride, it's gonna be badazz!
I could read this easier with punctuation.

Re: prop and steering
I have hyd. steering in both my streams and love it, you will need a new steering wheel if you have the ride guide square shaft.
A hdy foil will help get out of the hole a little quicker but that's it.
As for chine walk seat time and everything tight is the ticket. I have absolutely no play in my 200 on my viper with hyd steering and solid mounts. The first time I had it out I felt it start to walk a little but was able to correct it and haven't noticed it since but after watching some video of me driving it I'm correcting it and don't even know it.
