At this point know one know's, it will be revealing to you as you start with a high engine height and start down. Bass boat's high HP do quite well with that kind of combo...setback's are common big motor's are common just not the tunnel....they also run run the engine quite high the reason for the setback. I believe you have the boat set up improperly...engine height and the wrong prop rev 4's are know to run well with a deep drive aka I/O's...By design a your hull is meant to skip over the water no plow like a deep v...now combine that with a drive that is running to deep a prop that is a known lifter..high horse power and a fairly light boat and all kinds of thing's can happen.
One big thing you could do is get a hold of a cheap 3blade alum prop about 3 pitches up from that rev4 and start with that instead of the 4blade ss. I dont think you have a hook going on but we shall see.
