Not sure. Think about just getting used to it. The hull is so sharp that it will have a strong tendency to lean in turns. There are some considerable advantages to that tendency. For sure, in the I/0 versions (mine), the hull never feels unstable. In a very tight turn, it will lay over so far that it can spin, but never in a way that feels out of control. Its a very odd feeling for the boat to be doing something that usually means it is out of control (spinning) and still be in perfect control. I always warn new passengers about the lean, but hardly notice it myself. Lean or not, the boat always feels solid, capable of running through anything the weather can throw at it.
The boat likes weight forward. I wonder if something like a hydo shield would provide move lift in the stern and positively affect handling in ways other than lean?

yes it has trim tabs and you have to use them every few seconds and that gets old running 70 miles to the canyon. I am fine with the way it leans in a big turn but I think it should be able to run in a straight line without falling over on its side. we love the boat we just want to get this figured out. I am not saying its not the operator but I have ran boats offshore for 30 years and this is a first for me.

is motor perfectly centered? Does drive leg have torque tab? slightest bit off center can cause the bow to lean... Fuel tanks flat bottom or v? is fuel sloshing side to side, a'la the mitchman effect... Finally, your single motor is very light for a 25. Considering most folks are putting too much weight aft on their repowers, this is going to sound odd, but I think you may actually be running a little light on the stern. Some of these rigs were dressed with a pair of chevy 250 inlines. The chevy ballast concerns are quite valid, me thinks... Might consider setting 5 or 600lbs of sandbags centered in front of the motor and see if see runs a little more true to help define the problem.

I'm wondering if there is something about your boat that is making it worse than normal. Mine tracks fabulous, leans a bit from side to side when passengers move around, easily corrected with trim tabs. The boats sensitivity can be turned to great advantage. Just a tweek of the wheel one way or the other and you can keep the keel coming down perpendicular to the water surface, much smoother ride that way. Driving that way gets automatic after a while. Sounds like your boat is doing something different. What power? How much weight do you normally carry in the bow? Anything else different from a 5.7 v8/I/O, 100 gallons fuel?

I get what you're experiencing and it's annoying just thinking about it.
I test drove a hydrosport that did the same thing and I agree..... it gets old. Is the engine mounted too deep ? Maybe not the issue. What RPM's you getting at WOT ? Too much prop ? Does it still flop over with the tabs down about 1/2 - 3/4 evenly ? If that's the boat I'm thinking......I believe they rebuilt the transom ? Not sure but I do remember the picture looking different in that area. Hummm......we need to figure this out. I'd suggest calling some boat engineering / boat racing contacts for ideas.
