Draft on plane

The friendliest place on the web for anyone who enjoys boating.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I think the difference is "planing vs semi-planing" and displacement just plain sits deeper the faster the boat goes. My exhaust pulls under at 7 knots and sits above the water at 5.5 knots, no speed would make it plane out...

I could imagine a semi-planing vessel would sit "down at the stern" as the bow lifted. JMO
