Hey Ambush, nice rig ya got there! I've got bout the same setup as you. Where I launch my V, its a canal about 2-3ft deep so I keep it trimmed up some till I get out into the Chowan River. When I get to 5 ft. of water under the boat I trim it almost all the way down and come up on plane. Most times I gun it almost WOT and start trimming it up till it starts to porpoise a little and then I trim it back down just a bump. It gets the best fuel economy and runs fastest when trimmed out correctly. When you get up on plane and to the desired speed just bump the trim button up and down and listen to the motor and you'll hear it change from a lugging sound to an easier , smoother running sound. Hope this helps.
