Someone is taking the piss….
Get SF to place themselves in a position where they risk death, or worse capture, in order to disable engines which can be rapidly replaced?
An AC-130 would do the same job much more effectively, or if you didn’t want to risk that, PGMs…

UK special forces could destroy Houthi boats in Red Sea
Britain and America are weighing up military options in response to attacks on shipping in the Red Sea by the *Yemen-based Houthi militia, sources have told The Times.
General David Petraeus, a former CIA director, said he had spoken to UK officials and others in Washington and that although airstrikes were possible, the West could also use more covert means to destroy the fast boats used by the Iran-backed militia.
A UK government source confirmed that there were several options, including airstrikes on targets in Yemen. *Special forces could be *deployed to disable the engines of the Houthi fast boats, or explosives used to sink them while they were in harbour.
