sounds like it is doing exactly as you had hoped!! That is great news!! No doubt I think you could move the motor up a couple of holes. It is definitely set down...I would bet your anti cavitation plate is in the water. I would bet if you move the motor up 2 holes, the plate will be out of the water at planing speeds with the only difference in handling being you might have to trim down just a touch since you will have a little more slip in the prop at a higher mounting position. worst case is you end up dropping it back down a hole...but I am betting you won't need to. You will definitely gain at the top end as well, and you might find bow rise on hole-shot might be less too..
Glad to hear things are going in the right direction...that is great news!!
