Actually, John, you may have to coin a new acronym....
GFBS (
go
fast
be
small).
Fralick Boats makes and sells wooden hydroplane boat kits and plans that have models that have exceeded 70+ utilizing only a 25HP motor! And with a sleek low down wooden hull and virtually little metal cross sectional display with the mostly aluminum motor barely above the waterline, the craft is nearly invisible to RF based radar and very hard to target correctly even with LASER/LIDAR units!
What will they think of next....composite home built kits perhaps...
