Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't speedboats' bows lift up as the go faster?

Hi freeciv,

Most speedboats bows raise out of the water at the start and then they start to plane, which means that they run horizontally. I hope this helps,

This is what happens to me if I go fast. I think If the bow lifted up at speed this wouldn't happen.

Could it have to do with that nowadays all small boats in the game are waterjet-propelled...?

Most are not? There isn't many boats that uses jets, most usually props. Or what do you mean? :)
