Can anyone with same boat and motor tell me the motor height, prop dia. and pitch they are running and at what WOT rpm???

My motor is at lowest setting, prop is 14/11 and highest rpm at WOT is 4500. Computer has veified  tach is correct and motor is

good! Boat and motor are new.  Good idea  on 9" pitch but that only should add a few hundred rpm? It's throwing up a lot of water

which makes me think the motor is too low also. Measured height from anti vent plate to transom bottom and it seems to be about 1.5" below.
