Default Yet another trim tab question (location pics)

I recently bought an 85 step lift with a 3.0 (140hp) I/O. This is only my 3rd boat ever so I’m not what I would consider a “boat guy”. With just 2 of us in the boat, it seems like it likes to cruise about 3500-3800 rpms about 25-28 mph. I can hit 30 at wot at about 4200 but I don’t need to push it that hard for my needs. My question is really about planing. Even with the outdrive all the way down, it doesn’t seem to nose down as much as I would expect it to. There are no trim tabs on it currently. My first thought was to add some tabs since I intend to occasionally cruise with as many as 6 people aboard. I’m concerned that it’s really not going to plane with more people. I have a small swim platform on the port side of the transom that may limit my options for trim tabs. Does anyone have any pics of where their tabs are on their V20?
