warlock 22 sxt set up questions

[GUGS]

early 90s sxt cat. 3.0 250efi offshore. Adjustable tabs, jack plate. Motor is a 98 250efi. I've spoken with Simon on a couple of mods there and Carson about reeds.

Looking for thoughts and theory on set up or experience with this hull. It breaks water at dash regardless of the trim or height and turns a 23 three blade 5400. Can't seem to get it out of the water. Uphill, down hill etc. Only way to get it to pack air is to head into a monsoon head wind.

Hole shot sucks, it will blow out and you have to feather it to get on plane. Has a ski pole which it funny cause you'd drown whoever was back there on a rope.

I like how solid the hull is, built like a brick **** house.

What should the tabs be set relative to the tunnels? I am looking for a PS height even or slightly above the bottom of the center pod?

Bow lift needed? Stern lift needed? What do they like?

Pic are before a bunch of clean up etc.
