Hi Ben_Newsam, I don't know the exact configuration of T.J.'s mystery ship.
He did mention water-jet nozzles bow and aft.
Nitrogen and liquid oxygen are rocket fuels, so it could be done.

The paint comes off at 100 MPH... so it's only for extreme emergencies.
He also said something like:

The hull is ice classed and, when on plane,
it has a 10 foot waterline forward, 15 aft ( instead of 28 ).
At 100 mph it cuts a rut in the sea.
.....
I like 40 MPH in most seas, slowing to 10 MPH in rough seas.

Nobody actually at sea quotes speeds in "mph".
