Seems to be one's opinion. While lifting strakes will get you on plane at a lower speed, they can contribute to a harsher ride than without. I have a 25' tri-toon without strakes and 130hp and it planes out fine and slices nicely through the chop with no pounding. I really don't see them as a deal breaker.
