For goodness sake haven't you seen the post from Dick Everitt on ideas to be submitted to PBO,a quick sketch and an E mail could have netted a small fortune.
But your too late I've just submitted it!

You'd need a fair number of hamsters, tho' to get the amps up. Do they suffer from seasickness? Can you feed them seaweed? This could be the breakthrough boating needed! 200 hp (hamster power) engines with gerbil-charged overboost!
