If you read the proposal for the contract, they took "Stealth" out of the requirements. They knew all along they would be going splash with a roostertail all the way. That kind of thing shows up great on surface to surface radar.
To be honest, I would run like hell from something like that coming at me.
It would have to float, at least when empty. Cargo can go over the side in an emergency, right?

When a machine goes down, the pilot pulls a rip cord and there is flotation that rises to the top of the water. The rider has to stay with that flotation until the race is over. (They only run 4 or 5 very short laps per heat. ) and then a rescue pontoon or 2 come and winch them up and take them to shore. They quickly change plugs and oil and can run again in a matter of minutes!
