    They should make it into a full-blown hydrofoil. With a telescopic foil, so it can fly above even the larger waves. A bit like the Candela Seven.

    @solarfunction1847 3 года назад

    I wonder how much more fuel efficient the boat would be if you had several stainless steel Hydrofoils that lifted the boat out of the water while leaving the propellers still under the water so that there would be even less resistance to water against the hull? Perhaps in the next iteration of the boat that might be placed in where you could have retractable Hydrofoils for when going slow where debris would affect the Hydrofoils & then drop them when needing to go fast & efficiently.
