Here in Ibiza, Spain I once saw 2 16hulls with no crossbars,no mast...wooden deck and 15hp outboard engine

But I think this one beats it for shure!

There's a guy in Greensboro, NC that has an 18 with a wooden platform across the hulls. Bass fishing seats mounted and a 50hp motor. He enters local fishing competitions on that thing. It will haul butt across the water. He even hooked the rudders to the motor so when the motor turns the rudders do too. I would guess he can run about 40mph.

What if he left the sails on and used the fan to fill the sails :lol:

Hmmm wonder if that works??
