The 135 is an unusual animal since it has a 2.0 gear case vice the typical gear ratios of 150s. What is you WOT with the 19” prop? Any chance you can post a picture of the prop?

looks like a POWERTECH , personaly i dont think it needs jackplate ,adding to problem of porpose , get someone to set as far forward as safe to do or add weight to bow some how , talk to manufacture about set up and others with same boat in boat forums on here , good luck , ... NOTE i dont like 4 blades and you may need wedges added to rear of hull
