I will continue to look at the problem, not bailing out yet.

I dont have a metal hull anymore. My current boat is Fiberglass. The
last one was steel but I sold it.

However, my research seems to indicate that I need about 1500 cfm and
that shouldnt be too hard to get.

How did you arrive at 1500cfm? (Asking cause I just guessed.)

I used an oversized fan, linked to a temperature controlled speed
controller, with auto shut down should things get too hot.

Even at full tilt, 3 KW, the cooling fan never reaches anywhere near full
speed.
