Something else that could potentially be checked is the pin location for the trim when trimmed all the way in. If that is out one or two holes, you can move that pin to tuck the motor under a little more as well.
I tried searching for the specs on that engine and was unsuccessful in finding anything, but I am suspecting it should be reaching 5500 rpms at full throttle. My gut says the rpms are a touch low with the 13 pitch. I'm wondering what rpms did you have with the vengeance? I can potentially see why the vengeance propeller maybe didn't do so well also as it is more or less a stainless design of the stock aluminum, so it does not have much for bow lifting capabilities, hence the lack of the prop to hold the bow up while trimmed.
Steve Worrall has much more experience with that hull, and am guessing he has seen his fare share of how that boat can be properly set up. Depending on how the hull is built, if it does not have much angle back under to the bottom of the transom, I could easily see how the wedges could help tremendously as well.
