Active Variable deadrise. Actually an interesting concept. I know
fighter
places have variable wing surfaces, etc. Maybe an inflatable sponson for
a
tunnel on the sides, etc. At least it is a boating content thread. But
since you are imagination restricted, would be hard for you to accept this
as an interesting concept.

Here ya go.

Regal has a hull design that basically touts a "variable" deadrise, based on
lift.
This was an interesting read:
