I do have a single cable on it right now but it is surprising fairly precise.

It seems like we have most of the causal factors figured out, does anyone have any thoughts on solutions?

*Do I toss a stock lower unit back on?
*Definitely going to do something with the motor mounts
*Should I grind off the trim tab if I keep the lower unit on?
*Likely will continue trying different props
*Have meant to get a water pressure gauge in the boat... What PSI limit 15 or 30?

I am still hoping to get more speed out of it if I can. Not really sure why my speed aspect hasn't changed one bit after all of my tinkering; props, jackplate, lower unit, weight, etc.

I am guessing I just still need to get the "right" prop on it.
1st, get the steering fixed, properly adjusted dual cable or SeaStar syle Pro hyd.
2nd Motor mounts.
3rd Water press gauge, no less than 10psi at speed.

Then start to play with props and gear cases, eng height, setback, etc.
