Which I get, but why not choose a displacement hull that's designed to ride through the water as opposed to the over it? Even fewer problems to solve. They could use a smaller, quieter engine with no stern drive I/O leg needed (more reliable, less moving parts etc). My only theory is that these boats may be designed to plane (once the ballast has been dumped) to get away from threats at higher speeds.

So the labor pool to go out to a random jungle to risk your life, worry about being executed, worry about being arrested by law enforcement, and figuring out how to launder whatever money you make is probably pretty small.
