My most favored hull design is the DDG/?q=M-hull. It's essentailly a trimaran, although the Bayliner variant appears to be a 'quintmaran'.

So it seems like you could add deflectors between the pontoons to nudge them in this direction. Essentially you'd promote counter-rotating vortexes between the central and outer pontoons, and then choke down the tunnel toward the rear to make that nice flat wake the M-hull produces.
