I'm always perplexed as to why boats have abrupt sterns, but pointy bows. Fluid dynamics apply in water as it does in air, so you'd think that is where the taper should be located.

The fishing boat we chartered last weekend got 2 MPG with 2x 200HP Yamaha outboards at 25-30 knots.

Got my limit of 2 halibut.

... I wonder, if you're already paying for shore power, is it metered? A boat with ~100 mile EV range and emergency outboard gasser would be pretty ideal. We covered about 45 miles on our trip.
