Thanks, currently i have them in about an 1/8. boat seems to wonder a little. I think it's because the 34' seems to list to the port side. Is there any 34's on this site? If so do they list to the port side?

At slow speeds, all v's tend to wander a bit. At higher speeds, you may want to pay attention to the trim, it may be bow steering. That has been my experience with the 30 and a heavy open bow. I need to trim it up to keep it handling well. I suspect the steps have something to do with this also, but am not that much of an expert to tell for sure. Is all your weight balanced otherwise?
