Well, this may be a bit out of line from what you were thinking but what about using an RC car or airplane nitro engine? I think that would be pretty cool. For propellers check your local hobby shop for ones used on RC planes. They come in all different sizes and pitches and are pretty cheap.

At a garage sale today I saw a 3HP verticle shaft engine lawnmower for $5. I didn't buy it because I couldn't think of anything to do with it but hey, what about a really big hovercraft? Like one that you could ride on. Then you could get a horizontal shaft engine to propell it.
