Be nice if it was a bravo you could swap a left hand prop and counter act the torque lean. My baja did this as did my buddies carrera.

put a straight edge on the last 6 or 8 feet of the bottom of the boat and check for any hooks in the hull if you have a hook it will act like a trim tab being down and make the boat lean to one side and it will get worse the faster you go

I bet if you trim it out more it will bring the bow up and ride much better. I had a boat that needed a lot of positive trim, even at cruise or it would lean badly to the left and ride like chit.

Like said try a little more trim or give another wheel a try. Possibly a 4 blade bravo. My 202 stinger seemed to run the best with a bravo prop vs the others i tried.

I am going to do all of above... I have a ballistic lined up to try and Ill also try trimming it some more. I also will try the straight edge thing tonight when I get home. But I boat all over pretty much... Union, Cass, Oakland lake... I'm all over the place.

I saw another powerplay on walled lake earlier this year with an open bow which Ive never seen before and it sounded like it had a BB in it and last year I saw another XLT on Woodland lake in Brighton. Kinda surprised how many there are in this area.
