I just pulled out the 600 lb corrector weight and a water tank from my v berth. It definitely changed the trim. The bow floats easily 4" higher, and like Lucky Dawg water pools on the deck aft of the deck scuppers. While the drainage issue is not ideal I'm not sure that the change is a bad thing when it comes to sailing trim. I have been sailing a couple of times since the adjustment - once in 20+ knots and the boat still behaves well and much faster than the predicted polars. I will definitely have to have my sail maker put a reef in my main. Right now it does not have one. I plan continue to monitor performance in different conditions and points of sail and I'll report back to the forum.
