Default Newbie needs help - Build My First

Hi all
this is my first venture into the RC.
I am attempting to build nitro boat.
So far I have the following parts

[link=http://www.btorcboat.com/html/WC30Description.html]WaveChopper30 hull [/link] (to come soon)
MDS .40 marine engine + tuned pipe. Has the fly wheel and the nub to connect the driveshaft
Futaba 6YG 75MHz FM surface radio, receiver + 4 standard servos (overkill, but was cheap, to come soon)

Can you recommend a good prop and rudder kit for this boat (surface drive)
Where can I get parts to attach the engine to the prop? What diameter shaft would be the best? Any kits available?
The nub on the engine has two slots (0) and internal diameter of 0.4375!QUOT! (does this makes since?)
What else i need? (starter, fuel tank...)
Where are some good HOWTOs on this?

Thanks guys!
