The smoother the hull, the more "water like" it is, thus creating more surface to contact the water.

Suppose a person has a 9.5 lb. primed wide body plane and he stiples the fuse. with ceiling paint(popcorn texture), then he overcoats the stiples with PPG for a coloring. The idea would be to make a draggy fuse with slower down lines. An
increase in power would be necessary because of the extra drag, we have plenty of power now,so that shouldn't be a problem. The wings, stab, and verticle would be left clean. I think it would work. Also you would not have to rub and polish the finish.
