Default 3.7l engine w/ 3.0l drive

the 470 package i was recently given came with a 3.0l outdrive for the 3.7l engine. no idea how, but dident realize until the motor was in and the housing on. they both came right from the same boat, and had only 80 or so hours on the engine. the owner of the glaxy swore they came like that together, and he had no problems on his 19' with it.

now, i took the v20 out for the first cruise today, and rpm's top out right around 5k where they should be, yet she dont seem to be planing off for me, even at WOT and cruising around 40-45mph. aside from no planing, she ran amazingly *knock on wood* and was purring like a kitten even at WOT

the drive has one of the fins on there, no clue what make, but the boat has no trim tabs. would adding tabs, or maybe removing the fin change anything?? or is it the fact that i have the smaller drive bolted up to the motor?
