Why would anyone want to spend $22.5M on a design that had its 'prior-
art' done in the 1890s. Tunnel-hulls have been around for over a
century .... sailing scows! So, this design is going to have HARD
TIME

It's probably the fastest boat in the world, y'know...

Not only that, but it also has en extremely small (pinpoint) turning radius
and can make turns at full speed without reducing acceleration. Imagine the
envy of your round-the-buoys chums when you dont slow down at all ;-)
