With 650 you should be at least seeing 80.

What elevation ?
Do you use the trim button ?
Remember to unhook from the trailer ?

Let us know dyno report along with dyno conditions. That will be a good start.

Yes 1.50.
The drive shaft angle was not bad. He had a short lower on at one time but loss speed. His 27' did not like a high X.

every boat different but just trim it up until you feel the hull free up and monitor the speed and rpm. Are your indicators working? If not go by feel it’s what I do half the time anyway.

Also where are your Tim tabs at? Send those babies up and down when needed only. They could certainly be scrubbing speed if there downward.

Your engine build/specs will help determine carb size but if it’s a 540 I would think a 2 circuit 1050 would be a better option but in reality you can make almost any carb work with some work. The real kicker is are you certain you have a stroker 540? Any machine or speed shop can determine that for you. I’m not trying to insinuate anything just being honest. You’ll get it worked out as long as you use a reputable shop in your location. Good luck and keep us posted.
