I have considered trying to create an "air hockey table" type bottom on the last 3 to 4 feet of a v bottom boat. Use a small engine/pump to pump air under boat at high speed to reduce drag. Maybe, I have to much time on my hands during these long cold winters.
I have often thought exactly the same thing about introducing air only "my" system just had a scoop to push air instead of a pump. I figured that at 100mph there would be enough air being forced in through the scoop to the bottom of the boat to provide the air hockey table effect.
Guess the next problem is "my" system increases air drag on the boat, whereas "your" system just uses a tiny amount of horsepower to operate the pump.
