Default Am I chasing my tail??

I want to build a cruiser with the following characteristics
46 foot with very deep V foreward. 25-28 degrees deadrise at transom
Overpowered.
And I want to have a " ballast tank."
The idea is :
If the sea is calm I will have the ballast tank empty and I will make her
plan using my extra horsepower.
If the sea is rough (or I meet heavy weather on the way) I will ballast my
tank, increase the displacement, will slow down the engines and I will be
sailing like a deep V boat, good for
rough weather.
Does that make sense??
Comments/suggestions are kindly invited.
