If all what's mentioned is OK, Check that actual prop is working 101% spot on, perform a prop hub test to check prop physical condition. Independently check if having water splashes out or over transom, trim must be set for OB and anticav plate to ride parallel to water level when on plane. If with 3 up it's hard to plane, place a boater up front and make the splash test on flat calm no wind water cond.
If all it's ok, need to drop pitches to pull wot revs up to 5500-6000, assume are factory wot rpm range for that 60 HP.
Happy Boating
