Matt,
I wonder if the right kind of ruff might not be better. From what I've
read some of the speed swimmers are using a type of body suit that mimics a
fish's skin, reducing drag.

From what I gather over the years, the inside if a steal hull boat

I'm talking about the outside, not the inside. Several boaters
around here (fresh water) have done so.



This Rhino stuff although very tough is very rough .. I would be
concerned it increases drag of the boat in the water significantly ...
