4 engines hanging on back & 1 sitting on the back, seems the best way to go/get there slow, med, fast, or race fast 70ish max b4 better if u take off ground effect flying far less drag.
comment 3 showing: I tried to find power package for the job & came up empty. The V-12 may work but it is racing end of spectrum & we need poor man tech other end of spectrum. I love how compact the V-12 600 r but not quite right still. Seems old school boiling water still has its place & future may b hydraulic power like I see off road tech going. Or we will need to use a bit of both to get best effects. 4 motors on back V12 600 hp & a 5 shaft that is main shaft for normal operation powered by turned by med sized hydraulic pump. U get going w/your main (ear ringing 4:18pm)shaft large prop up to say 25-29mph normal driving then add in the V12 600 power plant to reach max needed speed. Not about how fast off the line your either outboard racing/loaded working or u r use main shaft far more efficient design. Cuts fuel burn & engine wear & hrs on racing engines.
In no way is hydrolic power going to plow your hair back but it will work all day long sure enough at 1/2 the fuel burn price, & turning bigger prop is way to torque go till increased speed causes drag. After 30mph the large prop just drags too much so raise it out of water.

Is the mpg for each motor or all together??
Total Economy in the top left corer of the Garmin is for all 4 motors

Watching the fuel needles drop closer to the red zone each second made Me cringe !
