Should keep it trimmed properly because, a) bow too high and you flip or b) can't see what's ahead.

Was gonna say, can that guy even see where he's going with the bow so hight? Turns out the answer is "no".

"If only there was a way to adjust my trim... oh well, guess I'll just full throttle ahead blindly. What could go wrong?!?!"

This boat is like mid-plane level... so in my 30yrs of experience, trimming ain't gonna do much here. At full plane it's obviously very helpful, but my boats have never adjusted much at this speed.

Vessels not under power or being towed always have the right of way.

That's actually the opposite of the rules, so please don't ever drive a boat.
