Thought I mentioned water test, we used to use gps onboard with boat buyer so correct trim could be set with the idea being to maximise cruising speed.

Engine trim or trim tab trim?

If engine trim how do you 'set it' when the outboard has T&T?

What if that preferred position results in the boat not steering straight or unbalanced steering effort?

You could easily have a situation were a boat is front heavy and you achieve a higher speed by driving the stern down with extra trim where a better result would be to lighten the front and use the motor solely to push the boat forward.
The opposite set of condition would also apply.
