I think you have plenty of power. Some of your issues, especially with the boat getting on plane may have been weight dispersement. And probably will be what it will be. Maybe the 75 lb bag on the deck would have helped matters.
Now the porpoising? That's gonna happen a little when you are getting hit by all angles and trying to stay on plane. As suggested, keep your motor trimmed down and "plow" the water if you want to go slower as you were doing. That will help. And, common sense, try to hit as many waves head on as you can.
I don't think it is a prop thing, or a boat thing. I think you just had a heavy load, lots of wakes to deal with and boating traffic that made you run the boat at a slower speed.
I seriously wouldn't worry about it. I've got a 619 with a 225. Had similar issues on Sunday late morning when tons of boats were on the lake. Tried getting it on plane and trimmed up, but was just getting rocked by those wake board boats wakes. Trimmed her down, plowed where I could and the ride got better. It happens.
