Default It finally hit me.

The rough rule of thumb is that one HP for each 500-600 pounds
of displacement is required to push a boat to hull speed.

Does this take into account adverse elements, such as wind and current or it
just for flat calm water? Seems to me that many boats are way underpowered
based on the above.
