Yes.  J6/M2

The minimum bridge size of 20dt in the CT (Book 2/HG) construction rules
really limits what you can stuff in a 100dt hull.  A 100dt J4/M6 ship,
after being fitted out with bridge, drives, fuel, and computer, has 98%
or 100% of the available hull accounted for; I'm afraid the crew will
need to sling hammocks on the bridge and hold their breaths.  Thus the
classic Express Boat with no maneuver drive or power plant.

The MT and TNE design rules adjusted fuel usages, and handles bridges in
a different manner. Using them you can probably get away with designing
a 100dt with high jump and maneuver drive numbers.
