if you have a (very) light boat, you could opt for a higher pitch.
You need to get on the plane with your boat to exceed hull speed, so
probably that is not feasible.

===================================

It is just about impossible to get a boat, any boat, on plane with a 3
hp motor. 5 hp is about the minimum required for 1 person on a light
weight boat, 7 or 8 hp is better. Hot rodding a 3 hp up to a 5 is
not realistic.
