The construction method reminds me of a delta wing "Semi-dry" one man
submarine I built back in the '60s.  It was powered by 2 Sears trolling
motors mounted at the ends of the bow planes which were driven by two 12
volt car batteries in a watertight enclosure.  The body and "Wings" were
marine plywood covered with fiberglass and it performed quite well in
salt water.

That hi-top is doable.
