If you are referring to the angle of the propshaft and propeller then making it too steep is simply wasting energy.  Try to keep it as level as possible to make sure that all the generated thrust is driving the boat forward rather than trying to lift it out of the water.

thank you sir...thanks for the advice...i asked because of my inexperience in R/C water based crafts...sure i made a CLYDE PUFFER, a 3 feet long, is driven by a heavy motor,taken out from a car wiper assy, its powerfull.but when i start the controls,it propels foreward,but soon it drops its nose down, and the same attitude increases as it runs fast...but it stabilises when i releases my finger from control..yes its drive shaft is too steep, as to save space for a heavy battery...i hope its prob may due to the high angle of prop shaft...so now i can change it... thanks once again...and expecting more advices....have a nice day....
