Bow Lift
#4
If you place a 4' or longer straight edge on the bottom of the boat. If it is tight at both ends and you see some daylight in the middle you have a hook. If there is daylight at either end, you have rocker.
I had less than an 1/8"hook in the last 4" of my hull. I removed it with a belt sander then repainted the area. It made a huge difference in how much of my hull was in the water when running .

How deep is the propshaft below the bottom???
If the drive is at stock depth it should be deep enough, but maybe not. Lowering it 1" with a drive spacer will give more leverage to lift the bow. Prop work will also help. Add cupping in the right place and rake angle.
