Yes but the thing is a true semi-planing hull needs to be narrow and light. And fast majority of the boats people end up call "semi-planing" are neither.
For example, most people call a GB a semi-planing hull/boat. But it's not narrow, isn't light and can't run at semi-planing speeds with out a lot of HP.
Depends how you choose to define semi-planing. Most definitions that I've seen key on the term dynamic lift. Grand Banks fits, but it's admittedly not an efficient example.
