I would assume that with the converter, you have 2 points of slippage, converter and prop, with a drive hub instead of converter you would only have 1, prop. Hence the reason for a more sluggish feel with a converter.

Unless you stuck a 200-4R or a 700-R4 in it with a lock-up converter! Or, a 4L80-E would probably be the key. Probably way too many gears for a boat, though. And, heavy.

Reverse manual valve body is the way to go. It will make the boat really fun to drive. You can play with the gear ratios some, if you have a tall gear in the v-drive. Tall gears and a low first gear will give you some engine rpm to idle with and keep you from racing through the marina or no wake zone.
Good Luck
If your trans has a shift kit in it, it can be made manual only by removing the governor and tack welding the weights in the "out", hi speed position. TIMINATOR
