With -0.7 - it still looks slightly too high out of the water, especially on the wave's peak (no sure what it's called, no time to look up).
So, somewhere between -0.8 & -0.9 should be perfect. Will play with this values when come back.
Mass and displacement I have figured out pretty well:
Mass: 1.51
Displacement: 2.3

Excellent news
you might want to play as well with gc_height. Since, as I am reading from the webpage you have posted, your boat had an iron keel, you should set its center of gravity quite low.
On the effect of the center of gravity on boat's swing, I suggest you to read the following wikipedia article, though you might be aware of it yet:
