That boat is NOT (fully) planing. There is none of the telltail spray pushed out to the sides of the hull. There maybe some hydrodynamic forces in the vertical direction but the wake does not look any difference then from any other lightweigth fast beachcat.
There is also alot of errornous comments presented in this thread, but I'm not going to correct them.
