More inspiration:

The smallest powerboat to cross the Atlantic was Seiko da Gindelwald,
a 21-footer powered by a 2.5-horsepower outboard motor.

The man who accomplished the feat in 27 days was Seiko Nakajima of
Switzerland, the outboard power was Tohatsu. And the fuel burn? 0.23
gallons per hour, at an average speed of 3.69 knots.

Certainly, one of the most remarkable voyages ever under power.
