I installed a bolt on set up droop and ride plate. It worked well. I was not in a postion to pull the inkate etc. to do a proper plate.
I am now currently pulling the enitre pump and will be going to the standard ride plate. If you are interested I'll sell the droop/ride plate combo.

I know you are looking for advice rather than spam, but this is a set up that I used and was pleased with. Now that the entire boat is apart, I can machine the intake and install a traditional set up. Just my .02
