You can use something as simple as a compression plate around the outboard motor:

Trim tabs also work very well. Use something like Smart Tabs for a no-brainer automatic operation, or something adjustable on the fly, like Lenco or Bennett for custom trimming for both fore/aft and port/starboard.

They put some very small hydrofoils (just a couple small tabs and a wing) on the insides of cat hulls to achieve lift also - search for HYSUCAT to dig up info on that.
