The stabilizers work great for me. You can also put wedges (upside down)on the motor to angle the foottoward the bow.

Make sure your motor isn't mounted too high. Ona brand newflats boat I bought a few years ago, the motor was a bolt hole too high. Hit the throttle and it would stand straight up, slowly level off and cavitate with any trim up. Dropped it down one bolt hole and it ran great.
