Came across the Candela C-7, electric powered, hydrofoil boat while browsing on YouTube last week:

It uses the same lithium ion pack as a BMW i3 (40 kWh, NMC), with a peak motor power output of 70 kW but uses only 16 kW @ 23 knots and 37 kW at top speed.

It's crazy expensive right now, but given time this design concept will trickle down to more affordable boats eventually.
This demo, in rougher conditions, really shows just how radically different this boat is from standard, gas powered boats:
