Does lift have to do with blade rake?...or spinning them in instead?
Bow lift does have to do with the blade rake. A high rake blade design (the blades angle toward the stern of the boat) will induce bow lift. A low rake blade will induce stern lift.

I am surprised you need more bow lift. Most fountains need stern lift. I would try some Hyro's on your boat before you put money into the props you have now.
Have you raised the drive height?
Your slip seems a little low for your boat. Did you calculate slip with gps speed? Are you sure the tachs are accurate?
