More power = more speed.

This has an asymptotical limit, though.

I am puzzled. What quantity approaches an asymptote and against what
independent variable?

Comments from the lunatic fringe aside: if one plots power versus
water speed for any water borne hull there is an upper limit to speed
no matter HOW much power is applied to the hull.

(motive power is ultimately limited by flotation. Speed is ultimately
limited by propeller immersion or hull stability)

Count me as lunatic fringe. I see planing boats every day.

What you describe is not an asymptotic relation.
