Rod,
Its a moot point now as you are repowering but did you try changing ths prop?, on the original power/drive.?
Its funny how the exact same boats with very similar power and drive systems can perform very differently.
My Tsunami that is almost identical to yours in weight and power and same high canvas topl hops up on plane very fast, and rides very level.In nice water conditions I rarely have to touch the 12x12 dropfin tabs.
If its blowing head on, a small adjustment to the tabs brings the bow down pretty quick.I have only a 52 gallon fuel tank, that sits about amidshjp in the boat.
One would think it would be harder to keep the bow down with less fuel weight.Go figure.
