Well, it is for the archvillain in a 20s-era cliffhangers game. So
it should push the envelope, just as James Bond's toys are just a
little ahead of today. The boat is still firmly TL6, but cinematic.
Hydrofoils, perhaps? I know the concept sounds too modern for the 1920s,
but some experiments with surface-piercing foils were being carried out as
early as 1908.
