Side note....is the t-top cover PVC board or fiberglass? I plan on doing that to my current t-top

It is a nice clean hull, I second the idea of a 4 blade 17 P prop. You need more stern lift. A fin will help like mentioned, weight in the front (like moving batteries or anchor chain) to counter the balance from the bracket may help. Ken at prop gods is normally spot on. Raising the outboard may help wot and cut down on some drag but may not do much for the balance issue. Your console and top shifted forward would of helped some but may be a lot to move that now. With the three kids in the back it probably is worse. If you threw a bean bag in the front and moved the kids as test weight you would see it ride better lol. Went threw some of this with my little 20 SC. I ended up going with a lighter outboard and moved three large batteries to the front and keep two heaver anchors in the nose for ballast. Mine liked to dance around at 60+ yours may not be as bad but everything little thing you can do will help.
