Outboard stabilizers do in fact work to help keep the bow down (Some-not q fix all), plane a bit faster and stay on plane at slower speeds, but all that depends on loads, hull design, is the boat balanced with the essentials - fuel-battery, etc); if you are looking for more speed then a bigger motor is necessary as that 9.5 isn't capable of high speed boating (LOL) it will get you there and back be more fuel efficient providing you run it with a dialed in propeller, etc. bottom line is many things affect the way a boat runs, performs, handles and there is no one item that will make it all go away, just isn't - you're going to have to settle for some things being less than what you may want but carfefuly examine exactly what your boating is and add those items to make your boating experience best it can be.
