I agree - you might check motor height . . . Anti-Ventilation plate should be above solid water when you're up on plane and fully trimmed out. But, as a practical matter, min planing speed is even more important than WOT, so check that too. A good stern lifting 4B prop and fin on the AV plate should allow you to hang on plane around 12 mph.
With about 650 lbs of ballast, 2 guys, and Bimini top raised, I'm seeing 43 mph with 165 hp at the prop. Picked up about 4 mph after I installed a jack plate and raised motor almost 6", which gave me another 100-150 rpm and allowed me to run a more efficient BRP Cyclone 4B prop.
