You may have inadvertently stumbled onto something. A design like a buoy may be fundamentally a better approach for a watercraft during a tsunami. I just did a quick Internet search for buoys. There is not much to reinvent.

I don't see much use for the boat design in the original post. It's not like you'll be able to cruise around the city. There will be too many obstacles. Stuff will break the motor rather quickly, especially if the hull runs deep.
