Default Jet to prop conversion

Hello,

I have two Pro Boat 23” River Jet RC boats. I am interested in converting one of them to a prop drive, rather than jet.
I want to do it for the project itself, and because I have a few plans for it, where it would be better to have a prop driven boat.

Does anyone have any experience with something like this? I haven’t done much RC building or modification, but I have a pretty good grasp of the way things work. I could set up servos and make things operate. I’m mainly looking for suggestions on if it’s possible, if it’s been done before to this model or others, and if so, how it was done.
The prop would have to have an angled down shaft, so it would need a universal joint, or remount the motor at a slant? Things like this.

I realky appriciate any insights or advice anyone can provide.

Thanks.
