OP has probably gone now, but just thinking that 10mph might be a bit near hull speed on a 16' displacement hull, and two of the batteries described will be about 180 lb. Add the weight of the boat to carry a load like that, it becomes a lot of water to shift to get the speed, even if they are two very narrow hulls.
