Slightly related: I once tossed up the idea of a "gently morphing" boattail, parts of which could up/down or left/right a bit, allowing the tail to keep its general shape but better fit into the changing wake, depending on speed, sidewinds, and local turbulences.

It would be stiff (as opposed to using soft or elastic elements), with sensors in key locations feeding data by which servomotors would slightly move their relevant pieces.
