Hi overpowered boat are dangerous ! The torque off the engine will rotate the hull around the Engine! At hi Speed ! That's why it's twitching
If you want speed safely boat wieght , props , jackplates with nose cone fitted let's outboard run in cleaner water set back from Hull higher in water gives less drag higher speeds runs in shallower water better steering torque as the water is less turbulent behind hull as it rises from transom ,nose cones lets you pick up cooling water 2 to 4 inches higher than stock gearboxes
You can use transom wedges to increase angles for better handling
