Default Prather Lap Cat 11cc outboard

Ihave a prather lap cat (35" hull)slightly modified hull with a k&b 11cc outboard on it. I have several questions to ask. I have an Octura 3 blade and Prather 2 blade prop for the boat. The 3 blade seems to handle a lot better, but which prop would be the ultimate you would recommend for the boat? Also, when I start to get on the boat it wants to sometimes loose bite and spin out quick. I know you are supposed to have SLIGHT negative trim, but the motor was set pretty negative. Will that cause the spinning? Height wise, where do you recommend for speed, but still be able to handle the boat? The cavitation plate on the motor is level with the bottom of the sponsons now.

I am also very very interested in a gas powered tunnel hull. Would this 35-36" hull handle a zenoah outboard? What would you guys recommend to get into the gas powered tunnels?

Any other setup tricks or anything anyone knows of would be really appreciated. Thanks, Matt
