If you have the need for speed, then planing catamarans are for you. By employing a flatter V-bottom surface, these boats get on plane quicker for maximum speed. That speed comes at a cost, however: because of the flat surface of the hull bottom, planing catamarans tends to have more of a slamming effect when coming down. However, since catamarans are inherently more stable than other designs, this effect isn't nearly as severe as it is in a mono-hull, but it's still very noticeable when compared to other power cats. There is also a problem with lateral movement, which can be overcome with the use of trim tabs.
