The holeshots could be caused by a couple issues: motor not trimmed down all the, wrong prop or motor mounted too hign in the transom (which hole is it mounted in?) Once on plane does it "slip" when turning or going straight?
If you are working the trim correctly it is either wrong prop or motor mounting location. Changing the prop may gain you holeshot, but you will lose some top end (possibly). You just want to be careful to not overrev the motor on top.
You should be able to contact a dealer and they will be able to tell you optimum setup for that boat with your motor, as in hole location and prop.
