  No it’s a boat. A ship is capable of carrying a boat.

  You aren’t outrunning an aircraft carrier, those behemoths can outrun most of their escorts if they want

    Planing vs displacement.

    An aircraft carrier is limited by its hull speed to about 45 pretty much no matter how much power you give it.

    A slow jetski will do 65. I've heen on ones that would do that with the "slow" key where supposedly the fast key would let you do 85-90.

    I've also been on a tri-tune that did 75.

    An aircraft carrier is about the fastest displacement vessel but when you move into planing hulls its a different ball game.
