Would it be possible to break the sound barrier in a boat on water?

It has been done in the air and on land.Is it at all possible to do it on water and in a boat,if not what would stop it from happening?
Just because it hasn’t been done, doesn’t mean it won’t. I’m sure someday this barrier will fall. The real problem….. finding a material that will withstand the harmonic vibrations from the hull on the water.

to much drag from the water and the hull of the boat being in contact. you have so much drag a lot more than just wheels rolling on the ground or a plane flying through air. the surface of the hull and drag of the water prevents you from ever going that fast.

The only way a "water craft" would go fast enough is if it was completely out of the water. Wouldnt really be a boat then…

And another problem is the 50% chance of dying at that speed on the water if you hit a 1 cm ripple too. The survival rate at that end of the water speed record is woeful.

It hasn’t been done yet.
But someday, somebody will be the physics and accomplish this feat.
Best of luck to anyone who is working on it.

some planes with wing in ground effect are classified as boats if they cant fly. otherwise a boat on a hydrofoil could work.
