Default Electric 51" Apache (best setup?)

Hi, everyone. I was given a 51" Apache fiberglass hull and I wanted to set it up as an electric. I am 100% completely new to electric boats. So... I was hoping you guys might be able to give me a "shopping list" of items to put in this thing. Specifically, motor, ESC, batteries, prop. I'm not looking for speed, probably 20-30mph will be fine. I'd like it to be a marine wave jumper more than anything. Is it possible to stay under $150? Feel free to educate me on theory as well. I've uploaded pictures to perhaps allow you to bettermach the components with expectedbuoyancy andhandling characteristics. Other important info is listed below... Thanks so much guys.

Hull: Apache
Material: Fiberglass
Length: 51"
Width: 10.25"
Weight: 5.2lbs
