Check for some hook in the last 3 feet of the hull.
Do you have tabs????? How are they in relation to hull when all the way up????

the hull looks ok i took a straight edge about 2 feet long and ran it down a few spots and it looked good. the boat has no stress cracks or anything to show its out of wack.
i have to admit its original plugs and wires 230 hrs old

as for tabs, they are 12" long, they sit about 1" from the very bottom and sit out just a tad in the upward possition. the boat however always twists towards the left i alway half to trim the starb side down or port side up when cruzing. when im WOT its fine. it does this with just me in the boat, no one on the other side, and any weight i have in the boat is all right in the middle or close.

it seems like prop is the issue imo from what you guys are telling me. i hit the limmiter very easy and thats when she falls off.

im a little iffy on a prop however, id like to do a merc prop, my friend got a bblades and had a few issues with it and im not sure i want to spend 1,000 bucks and take any chance

You can get loaner props from BBlades, nothing lost but $25.00, and valuable information gained.

Might want to change your plugs and wires before next season as well. A good tune up will make a world of difference.

thats the plan, i already have the stuff to do it. i will do it in the spring as the boat gets put away this weekend in the indoor racks for the winter sad to end the season, but its sled and race time now.
