What ideas have you guys tried?
The only thing I've tried that might apply is putting a bellmouth on the air intake.

Depending on the hull architecture and performance envelope maybe a surface-piercing propellor? You might have to raise the transom.

I like the M-hull. Maybe you could get some benefit by strapping surfboards vertically on either side of the bow (sort of a trimaran) to kill the bow wave.
