Aha! Suspicions confirmed! No trim tabs.
Next to that sweet motor, trim tabs would be your greatest asset. I understand not wanting to drill any holes in your boat so I'll leave that alone now.
A 4 blade will help lower your minimum planing speed and get the pointy end down much quicker.
As Denny mentioned, for less than $50 you can get a planing foil. SE Sport makes a foil that doesn't require 4 holes in the anti-cavitation plate.

If that solves the problem great. If not, they are an easy resale on CL or whatever.
I had one on my Seafari and was pleased with its effect. I took mine off because when I dropped to a 15p stern lifting Black Max, my hole-shot to plane became virtually instantaneous. Of course my motor is a 300 lb Merc 115 and my CG is farther forward.
