The Pursuit of Pleasure at 2 Gallons Per Hour

With that in mind, the editors at Professional BoatBuilder and WoodenBoat
magazines are offering a design challenge for new, creatively designed
powerboats in any material that are efficient, fun, and could possibly be the
only vessel a boating family of modest means might actually afford.
We will award two $1,000 prizesbone each to the first-place designs in wood
and composites/metalbas selected by a panel of judges from the magazinesb
editorial staffs and some non-competing professional designers.

Those production boats already exist.  I know from experience.  How about 1.5
gph at 7.5 knots?
