Raising the motor hurts your bow lift it will cause boat to run flatter. When you lift the motor up you also cause more stern lift. If boat is solid, trim motor all the way up and push down on lower unit as hard as you can if you see the transom flex any at all the transom is bad. sounds like you have either wrong prop or a worn out prop. Props due wear out and when they due,. you will have performance issues.Also boring a motor oversize does not give it anymore power, if it does it is so minute you will not notice.

No it trims up I put a 24 pitch power tech 4 blade on it yesterday and it turned the prop and had a lot more lift when I would stomp it it would stay up better with that prop but loose in the tail end , the 20 pitch ran 55mph pretty straight didn't gps the 24 gonna run it again weekend

Might be a stupid question, but is the trim stuck full down?

The only 2 reasons I can think of for your issue are the boat is severely overweight or the transom is flexing. I'd say it's time to have a good look at the boat
