Log spray issues

I have a 97 fisher 20' that I recently upgraded the engine to a 4stroke Merc, 60hp from a 40hp tracker. I just took it out for a run and spray from the front deflectors is hitting the floor and bringing water into the boat. Do I simply need to adjust the angle of the deflectors and if so, any advice on how to do this?

Try trimming you nose higher. Also if coming through joints you might caulk them or if you got the time and money put spray shield under deck

yep ya gota get the nose up, trim the motor, move some wight back (coolers, people?). I am a big fan of under skinning, don't think a boat is finished until it is done.

Those don't work at all and then the sheet metal screw holes make the logs leak.
