Has anyone looked into or tried adding trim tabs to reduce squat when under power rather than under sail?

Most sailboats have displacxement hulls and blow a huge hole in the water at "Hull speed".
Changing the running angle of the hull would do nothing to change the hull speed , only give more drag underway.
Tabs are used to assist heavy boats on the plane , and adjust the running angle in the plane , sometimes for the better.
