Here's another link to a 47' fibreglass boat built here by Honda Marine and shows how to get your boat out of the water quickly. This one is right on my doorstep in Pattaya Beach.

Back in the day, race boats were loaded very heavy with the fuel we carried to race the long distances. The engines were built with emphasis on lots of power on the top end and very little on the low end.
What we had to do is to rock them from side to side to get the boat to believe it had a flat bottom. Eventually you could push the throttles and the boat would start to plane on one side of the vee.
When it got moving fast enough, we flipped them upright and took off. Only at the flip, would you need the wider strakes, before that it was a flatbottom with ridges..strakes...running through it.
My opinion, too much weight with too little power to. make it work. Tell the guy to put in a second helm and sell an option ticket that people could buy, that would let them drive for a short time. Price point it so it makes up the spread of taking less numbers of passengers.

For sure, we do have lots of that if you want but I've been here 8 years and there's a lot more than just hoes. Great boating, hot all year round, nice little uninhabited islands, just not enough fast boats here. We need more of them.
Cheers,
RR
EDIT: You're right, it's almost a flat bottom, that's how they get 'em on the plane!

Everywhere is the "hoe capital of the world" if you go looking for it!
