are quite inefficient at low speeds. You'd have a heck of a time making an
electric boat that'd go fast enough to be reasonably efficient with the
typical jet drive. A tunnel stern of one sort or another would be a better
bet. They act sorta like high volume, low pressure jet drives. But
anything you do to accommodate operating in very shallow water will reduce
efficiency to some extent.

If a man is to be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as
good as anything, perhaps a bit better than most. (E. B. White)
