There is a lot involved in this topic. I'm far from the guy to know the answer, but having had a few boats I can tell you that the depth adjustment of the motor on your transom may be the easiest fix, or the type of prop.
Keep the motor lowered until near full speed then start lifting it a little bit at a time until the boat levels out. Once you hear the prop cavitate click it down once. I assume you have an electric motor tilt button on a motor that big.
Trim tabs will likely be in the way of the trolling motor. Unless it's electric or you have an extension mount.
The prop pitch and motor depth is critical to proper overall function. I went thru this myself a couple boats ago.
