Power of Boat: Exploring R vs F

[QUOTE="Faiq, post: 5494815, member: 591249"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A boat moving at constant speed v through still water experiences a total frictional drag F. What is the power developed by the boat? a) 1/2Fv b) Fv [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I know the correct answer is b. My confusion is why is a incorrect? My reasoning: The boat experiences a total drag of F. Which means at every point the boat experiences a resistance where R < F. Thus to steer at v, we have to apply a force of R. Which will provide the only option 1/2Fv. [/QUOTE]
