The physical laws that apply to a boat are rather different from, for example, those affecting a car, as are the possibilities of influencing its maneuverability.
You can influence a boat’s behavior and the level of comfort on board primarily by adapting the speed to the prevailing sea conditions and by the intelligent use of the trim tabs. A planing boat rides almost level in the water at maximum speed. As the speed of the boat is reduced the trim angle increases and the bow rises slightly. This is normal, and is a prerequisite for good performance.
