Find out what pitch the prop that's on it is, and drop a couple inches (or more) in pitch. This will give you more hole shot, but lose a little top end. Or another option is you can put a Merc High Five stainless five blade, somewhat pricey, but should do the trick. Be thankful you have the 5.7, most smaller I/Os have V-6 or even 4 cylinder engines, so you've got a good head start going into it.
