The 19 pitch is about right for that rig. What I would be wondering about is what hole the trim-stop pin is in on where the motor mounts to the transom. If that pin can be moved inward (toward the hull) a hole, that can make a huge difference in the way the boat comes out of the hole. Moving it in will allow the motor to "tuck under" a little more, thus forcing the bow down and the rear up.
I'm curious as to what prop exactly you are running. If you can find a nice 19 pitch pro-series prop (yamaha), a tempest (mercury), or even a ballistic (michigan wheel), you might find the trailing edge cupping will allow the boat to trim better and have better stern lift.
That rig should be a great rig!! I have a 165 navigator with a 90 2 stroke and have loved it for years.
