Need to check to see if the stringer foam is wet, You may be carrying around an extra 500lbs of soggy foam. That hull shouldn't sit like that with a 175. I had a heaver motors on 20's with the older type 2" lower floor and it didn't come close to that. If there is some water trapped in there try drilling some escape holes in the bottom corners of the stringers and jack the boat up on a trailer and let it bake in the sun and drain out. The way they glass them in a lot of the water that gets in there can never get back out.
