Nope. This is a common motorboater's misconception.

If you doubt it, look at the fuel test results commonly printed in
magazines. You will see immediately that faster=greater fuel consumption
per distance, except for boats that are very far up the power/weight
curve (ie muscle boats) and they get such poor fuel economy it doesn't
matter.
