I heard that for boats that want to go really fast, having one propeller blade in the water is one of the best ways to do that, since it reduces drag.  In the image above, it looks like the propeller blade has just the tips hitting the water.

Hmmm? How high would it get with just a Jockey driving it?

And who's holding their beer?

John Daly does not need a jockey to drive his boat, not does he need anyone to hold his beer...

Well I should have typed: how much faster would it go with just a jockey driving it? If it already has just the prop in the water with about 450lbs extra in the boat. A buck ten jockey would would reach ludicrous speed!
