I'd switch props....I would check out Solas Amita series which will be cupped throughout the blade, but I'm guessing you still need to go down in pitch. The amita series will be cast differently than stock props (squeeze cast which will flex less and thus can be ground thinner which will allow the prop to "bite" better. You can also have your prop tweeked by adding cup to the tips of the blades which will help hold the bow up. The trade-off, though is it will lower your rpms. From your previous information, I suspect you are still needing higher RPM to hold the bow up. What were your rpm's when you had the boat up to 34mph?
The only other thing i can think of is to check the pin on the transom bracket to see if it is in its most tucked in position. If it is out a hole or two, that could be part of the issue as well....but...if you are unable to trim up at all, I believe you will be low on RPM's yet. Get that motor up to the 6000 rpms when you are alone with your normal load and full tank of gas, and you will be golden.
