Along with others who have responded, I think your boat is simply stern-heavy and she is relatively narrow as well. I had a similar boat, with a similar problem.

Check out trim tabs at http://www.bennetttrimtabs.com/tech-help/faq. They are often used with stern-heavy boats. However, they are not going to eliminate the bow-high plowing problem, only reduce it. That may be enough.

Experiment with moving as much weight as possible toward the front of the boat to see what effect that has.

And do eliminate the possibility that there is water trapped in the hull.
