Engine issues aside, the proof is in the pudding so far!
Your quicker with the engine lower and I can assure the boat will handle better. Not saying you need to be 4 1/2" below plank but I'd drop it again and find the sweet spot where the boat is both fast and handles in the rough.
Try running wide open then shutting it down. Pull plugs and check for the one that hasn't been firing (as I mentioned in an earlier post). Other wise see if you can borrow a coil pack and swap it one by one to see if you can find the dud. Sometimes they are a ***** to diagnose. It may not even be a coil pack, could be a plug wire or broken wire in loom?
