For what it is worth my 353 does the same thing. Not that it fixes your problem or anything.

How does it ride if you bring a 190lb friend to ride in the passenger seat?

Do your props both spin the same direction? My 242 does the same thing and I just drag a little tab to get it level.

I had a 251 Checkmate Convinsor that did that, I went crazy trying to figure out why. Then I found in the engine bay there where 2 round ports to give access to the engine mounts and that side somehow had water in it. I'm unfamilier with your set-up but it's worth a look.
