Default best gas performance

So here's my question. Where is my best gas performance? My boat is 25 feet with a 350 and trim tabs. My guess the best gas mileage would be at just above an idle but obviously time is a factor. So is my best fuel performance is just on plane with the trim tabs down or at least trimmed…

on plane, trimmed up, but not so much that it porpoises, right at teh point just before the secondary butterflies open on the carburetor, usually around 3000 rpm
