Could a boat go 300 mph with conventional propulsion?

Good question, to keep up with the tadpoles in Russia, I reckon.

Seriously, the quest for fame and glory, after all the pain and suffering from
redicule, financial hardship, and those who said it couldn't be done.
Well, just to say "Kiss my Grits", ain't that reason enough>

On The other hand, the dynamics of design have many other applications, such as submarine propulsion- silent running- and high speed tactical vessels that could outrun torpedoes. Not to mention any other vessels afloat.
Just to get to the fishing gounds ahead of the"pack' would be a real head turning event.
At about 400 knots to be grammerically correct, navagating a hurricane would be no problem, just be touching the water every now and then.
The future of design is the ability to think with theory but beyond and incorporate the practical, i.e. amplification of examples of nature.

As to boat propulsion, mankind has been thinking backwards since the advent of ability to power in excess of wind speed.
