It should not go much

Sorry, I missed the "one person" when I first read this post. As
someone else mentioned, add the Bolger skimmer to your list.

Yeah, I got the skimmer, right here.. This boat will scare the hell
out of you with a ten horse. Also look at Diablo. Skimmer will meet
your time requirements much better than Diablo as it is much less
complicated to build. However, skimmer does not meet some of the other
requirements for handeling, you may have to make some compromises
here. Skimmer "will" get airborne and with the reverse wing setup
sucks itself back down nicely, but if you yaw during the flight, it
can throw you real good... So get the kids to sign a release, and
build the skimmer..
