More weight. My family's I/O is an 18.5 ft boat, with a v6, and I put a bit over 1500 lbs of just water in that boat. Then you add people and equipment, and you are well into the 2k range. With a boat as big as yours, you will need more weight still. I put just about half of the water weight in the bow, and then like you said, use the trim to get desired effects. Good luck, it can be done.
