Nope...just the opposite..."Bow Down (trim down), Slow Down". There is no sense exposing the bottom hull of your boat to oncoming smashing waves. With the bow down you hull is doing what it was designed to do...displace the oncoming waves with the V nose of the hull... Unless of course your in a pontoon boat then things are totally different!
