I doubt the electric motor would get you speeds to foil that 200kg but I could be wrong!
I used to love it when the old Sydney hydrofoils where operating, when the swell through the heads really got up, they would cancel the ferry service (the ferry's were fine...is just they did not like the passengers getting washed of the decks).
But the hydrofoils where enclosed, and their operating speed was 30+ knts (and could not really slow down much as they would fall off the foil)
30 knts through a 3m swell , for the cost of a few bucks was better than any Luna park ride
A bit of great and poor digital editing.
Saw the tow point a couple of times on the bow.
Isn't great what movie makers can do today!
