Its a new boat with ~35 hours on it.
One can never rule manufacturing defect or transportation or storage problem, but based on what MeredithMan and the factory tech said, it sounds like it just the nature of the boat to run more hull in the water, need less trim, and the factory trim gauge not being well matched to the range the drive travels.
Oh and new owner of a different boat and outdrive than he has had in the past.
That all said, I do wonder if the boat would react differently with a different prop. Virtually every boat I have ever owned performed totally differently and MUCH better with a good aftermarket prop.
Open to any recommendations you guys may have for a good prop set for a Bravo 3. And feel free to tell me there is none better for this setup. It would not be my experience, but I'm learning there is still a lot learn about these newfangled boats ;-)
