Experiments with Hydrofoils 1-Speedboat

Working with hydrofoils after I saw @jheffernan's design. Leaps out at about 120mph. Yaw works best when hydrofoils are submerged. Has a slight "wave hop" as I call it. Max speed is 184mph.
If you attempt to make the boat go any faster, move the CoM forward. Currently it will start flying at speeds upwards of 225mph. The boat will also right itself if flipped
