I would have thought (no science here) if it had that much power, it could climb over its own bow wave and "escape " hull speed.(This is how a Flux-Capacitor works - trust me on this! )
Yes, but as I understand it, some time before that happens with a typical
displacement hull with no planing surfaces it becomes so unstable it
capsizes and sinks or at least all heck breaks loose.
Modern wide arsed hulls are more likely to plane with enough power (read
that as LOTS!)

Fear of sinking by over-power is why I won't put a turbo charger on my A4

On my Shields, which is a lovely slim 30 footer with long overhangs, when we
get going hull speed and the breeze is trying to push us quicker, the bow wave
starts rolling over the foredeck and the stern wave rolls over the aft deck.
Any faster
