Not the same boat but I put 4 blade Rev 4's on my 30' scarab sport and they had way too much stern lift. I could not get my bow out of the water to save my life. They would only let me trim up a bit and then they would start to slip. It was impossible to get the bow up at all. Ended up going back to the Mirage plus because of this. After you have done everything above maybe borrow a set of blades designed to give you good bow lift and see how they work for you.

Trim tabs are all the way up. Will check on water in the bow tomorrow.
