Same boat? Why two logins here?

The prop can and frequently does cause a lean issue because of several reasons, including not near enough lift and excessive prop torque, which won't allow the boat to run properly, and it's too small a wheel which can contribute to porpoising as well. it's doubtful the engine needs to be any lower than flat on the transom. Very doubtful.

I am betting you don't need trim tabs. You need to get the boat propped correctly and engine height figured out. Folks don't realize how critical it is to the performance of the boat to have it propped and rigged right, especially running a V6 4 stroke.
