Semi displacement hulls will fly although they do give a hard ride at speed.. When I first got my last boat (Hardy 17 or5.2 metres) it had a 25hp outboard on it. That boat would plane with two up and do around 16/18 knots depending on the day. When I upgraded to a 40hp it would do around 24/25 and when I upgraded again to a 50 hp it would do 28/30 depending on conditions. If you are only getting 10/11 knots with a 30hp there is something wrong with either your engine, prop or set up although I am doubtful it is engine trim, agreed it can make a difference but 30 hp should easily push your boat onto the plane whatever the trim especially as a semi displacement hull has plenty of buoyancy at the front. I would be interested in seeing the results of your tests re prop and engine trim. Martin
