I would bet if you could find a demo trophy prop that has different size vent plugs to try, you could really dial your motor in. I would not be surprised if you could have vent holes around 1/4" in diameter and get decent performance and good hole shot. If you find another trophy, the smaller vent holes will reduce your rpms a bit, but it should hook up even better than before.
I have no doubt you could raise your motor up probably 2 holes without issue, and a good chance you could go as high as the motor allows. The higher height will add a little more slip to the prop, but steering torque should go down a bit, with an adjustment of a torque tab taking care of even more of it. When you trim up, the torque should go down significantly and be pretty free when on plane.
We'll get it working...
