The stepped hull already raises the hull out of the water and trimming the outdrive is too much. I loved the stepped hull, better gas mileage, very little bow lift out of the hole, no need to use tabs to get out of the hole and very quick to get on plane.
This has been my experience with my Formula 37PC. Very little, if any up-trim is required (I trim up just a small amount until there is a slight increase in RPM's). Trim tabs are used to make minor adjustments to maximize fuel efficiency and ride quality.
