This boat has always interested me in that, as I've mentioned about a
zillion times, it has no bow lift and it's theoretical top speed is
about fifteen mph above what it actually gets (40 vs 55). It doesn't
act like it's supposed to. :)

Have you tried a high rake prop? That should increase your bow lift.
Also a setback engine bracket can also increase bow lift.
